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

backgroundThis study sought to statistically map the neck disability index (NDI) to the six-dimension health state short form (SF-6D) to estimate algorithms for use in economic analyses in patients with chronic neck pain (CNP).

methodsThe relationships between NDI and SF-6D scores were estimated by using data from a cohort of patients with chronic neck pain (n = 272). By using ordinary least squares (OLS), generalized linear modeling (GLM), censored least absolute deviations (CLAD) and Tobit regression, scores from all 10 items of the NDI instruments were univariately tested against SF-6D values and retained in a multivariate regression model, if statistically significant. The predictive ability of the model was assessed by mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE) and normalized RMSE.

resultsThe mean age of the 272 CNP patients was 39.9 ± 12.3 years; 57.8 % of the CNP patients were female. An OLS regression equation that included recreation item of NDI was optimal, with a MAE of 0.04and 0.04 and an RMSE of 0.06and 0.05in the derivation set and validation set, respectively. Predicted utilities accurately represented the observed ones.

conclusionsWe have provided algorithms for the estimation of health state utility values from the response of NDI. Future economic evaluations of the interventions for chronic neck pain could be informed by these algorithms.
