Mapping utility scores from the Barthel index.
Article in The European journal of health economics : HEPAC : health economics in prevention and care, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIt is not always possible to collect utility-based outcome data, like EQ-5D, needed for conducting economic evaluations in populations of older people. Sometimes, information on other non-utility outcome measures may have been collected. This paper examines the possibility of mapping the EQ-5D from a non-utility-based outcome, the Barthel index.
methodsData for 1,189 UK intermediate care patients were used. Ordinary least squares (OLS), censored least absolute deviations (CLAD) estimator and multinomial logistic (ML) models were used. The mean absolute error (MAE) and root-mean-squared error (RMSE) were used to estimate the predictive accuracy of eight regression models. Validation of primary models was carried out on random samples of data collected at admission and discharge.
resultsModels where the EQ-5D was entered as a continuous dependent variable and Barthel dimensions used as explanatory variables performed better. CLAD performed best on MAE and OLS on the RMSE, while the ML performed the worst on both measures. The CLAD predicted EQ-5D scores that matched the observed values more closely than the OLS.
conclusionsIt is possible to reasonably predict that the EQ-5D from the Barthel using regression methods and the CLAD model (4) is recommended.
