Responsiveness of the EQ-5D to the effects of low vision rehabilitation.

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
purposeThis study is an evaluation of the responsiveness of preference-based outcome measures to the effects of low vision rehabilitation (LVR). It assesses LVR-related changes in EQ-5D utilities in patients who exhibit changes in Activity Inventory (AI) measures of visual ability.
methodsTelephone interviews were conducted on 77 low-vision patients out of a total of 764 patients in the parent study of "usual care" in LVR. Activity Inventory results were filtered for each patient to include only goals and tasks that would be targeted by LVR.
resultsThe EQ-5D utilities have weak correlations with all AI measures but correlate best with AI goal scores at baseline (r = 0.48). Baseline goal scores are approximately normally distributed for the AI, but EQ-5D utilities at baseline are skewed toward the ceiling (median, 0.77). Effect size for EQ-5D utility change scores from pre- to post-LVR was not significantly different from zero. The AI visual function ability change scores corresponded to a moderate effect size for all functional domains and a large effect size for visual ability measures estimated from AI goal ratings.
conclusionsThis study found that the EQ-5D is unresponsive as an outcome measure for LVR and has poor sensitivity for discriminating low vision patients with different levels of ability.
