Minimal evidence of response shift in the absence of a catalyst.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundIndividuals with chronic conditions experience fluctuations in health status and thus may experience response shift. We sought to test the hypothesis that response shift effects would be non-significant among individuals with chronic disease who experienced relatively small changes in their health status over a 1-year period.
methodsThis secondary analysis utilized longitudinal cohort data on a community-based sample (n = 776) representing four chronic diseases (arthritis, heart failure, diabetes, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Information on health-care utilization was obtained from the provincial health insurance database. Participants completed the SF-36 twice annually. Parameter invariance over 1 year in a second-order SF-36 factor structure was evaluated by adapting Oort's approach by fitting a second-order measurement structure with first-order factors for the SF-36 subscales and second-order factors for physical and mental health status while accommodating ordinal data.
resultsOver 80 % of participants had no hospitalizations or emergency room visits over follow-up. The model had an acceptable fit when all measurement model parameters were constrained at both time points (RMSEA = .035, CFI = .97). There was no substantial difference in fit when measurement model parameters (item thresholds, first-order factor intercepts, and factor loadings) were allowed to vary over time.
conclusionAmong chronically ill individuals with stable health, substantial response shift effects were not detected. These results support the theoretical proposition that response shift is not expected to occur in patients with relatively stable conditions.
