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

purposePreference-based generic measures are gaining increased use in mobility research to assess health-related quality of life and wellbeing. Hence, we examined the responsiveness of these two measures among individuals at risk of mobility impairment among adults aged ≥70 years.

methodsWe conducted a 12-month prospective cohort study of community-dwelling older adults (n = 288 to n = 341 depending on analysis) who were seen at the Vancouver Falls Prevention Clinic who had a history of at least one fall in the previous 12 months. We compared the responsiveness of the EuroQol-5 Domain-3 Level (EQ-5D-3L) and the index of capability for older adults (ICECAP-O) by examining changes in these measures over time (i.e., over 6 and 12 months) and by examining whether their changes varied as a function of having experienced 2 or more falls over 6 and 12 months.

resultsOnly the ICECAP-O showed a significant change over time from baseline through 12 months; however, neither measure showed change that exceeded the standard error of the mean. Both measures were responsive to falls that occurred during the first 6 months of the study (p < .05). These effects appeared to be amplified among individuals identified as having mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at baseline (p < .01). Additionally, the EQ-5D-3L was responsive among fallers who did not have MCI as well as individuals with MCI who did not fall (p < .05).

conclusionThis study provides initial evidence suggesting that the EQ-5D-3L is generally more responsive, particularly during the first 6 months of falls tracking among older adults at risk of future mobility impairment.
