Cultural adaptation and validation of the Korean version of the EORTC QLQ-CR29 in patients with colorectal cancer.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeWe aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Colorectal Cancer-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-CR29), based on a sample of patients with colorectal cancer.
methodsA total of 123 patients treated for colorectal cancer participated in the validation study. Test-retest reliability was assessed using intra-class correlations from a random sample. Internal consistency reliability was estimated using Cronbach's α coefficient. Convergent and discriminant validity was analyzed with multi-trait scaling. Clinical validity was assessed in terms of clinical differences using known-group comparisons. Concurrent validity was determined by correlations with the EORTC QLQ-C30, which was a generic core questionnaire to evaluate issues common to different cancer sites and treatments.
resultsThe test-retest, administered to 35 patients, showed acceptable reproducibility (0.62-1.00) except the constipation scale of the QLQ-C30 (0.43). Cronbach's α coefficient (0.70-0.87) exceeded the 0.7 criterion. Multi-trait scaling analysis showed that multi-item scales met standards of convergent and discriminant validity. The known-group comparisons showed quality of life (QOL) differences between groups of patients based on tumor location, receipt of neoadjuvant therapy, and with/without a stoma. Correlations between the scales of the QLQ-CR29 and QLQ-C30 were low in most areas, whereas correlations in several areas with related content were higher.
conclusionThis study shows that the Korean version of the EORTC QLQ-CR29 is a reliable and valid tool for measuring QOL, as determined by application to a sample of Korean colorectal cancer patients.
