1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeResponse shift (RS) may mask true change in health-related quality of life in longitudinal studies. People with chronic conditions may experience RS as they adapt to their disease, but it is unknown whether fluctuations in disease activity will influence the presence of RS. The study purpose was to test for RS in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a condition characterized by periods of symptom flares and remission.

methodsData were from the Manitoba IBD Cohort Study (N = 388). Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) and a RS detection method based on structural equation modeling were used to test for reconceptualization, reprioritization, and recalibration RS in participants with consistent active, consistent inactive, and inconsistent disease activity over a 6-month period on the SF-36.

resultsThe MG-CFA revealed that a weak invariance model with equal factor loadings across groups was the best fit to the baseline SF-36 data. Reconceptualization, uniform recalibration, and non-uniform recalibration RS was detected in the consistent active group, but effect sizes were small. For the consistent inactive group, recalibration RS was observed and effect sizes were small to moderate. For the inconsistent disease activity group, small-to-moderate recalibration RS effects were observed. There was no evidence of reprioritization.

conclusionsIndividuals with a chronic disease may exhibit RS even if they are not actively experiencing symptoms on a consistent basis. Heterogeneity in the type and magnitude of RS effects may be observed in chronic disease patients who experience changes in disease symptoms.
