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
purposeTo test the responsiveness of the EuroQoL 5-dimension (EQ-5D) utility scores for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
methodsA baseline sample of 227 AIS patients was recruited between August and October 2015, and was surveyed prospectively to 9-12 months follow-up. EQ-5D-5L utility scores were derived using a two-step approach: (1) cross-walking from five-level responses to three-level responses and (2) applying the EQ-5D-3L Chinese population value set. An anchor approach was adopted to assess the responsiveness of EQ-5D. Effect size statistics (standardized effect size and standardized response mean) and independent t test were used to assess the responsiveness, as well as to analyze the ability of measures to detect score changes with global health condition changes or discriminate between the worsened and unchanged/improved groups.
resultsApproximately two-thirds of follow-up patients (64.2%) reported no change in global health condition based on the self-reported health anchor, whilst 4.6 and 31.3% of patients rated worse and better in current health condition compared to baseline, respectively. In the subgroup where health worsened, EQ-5D utility scores were responsive to detect negative changes. EQ-5D utility scores had slight improvement in the group where health improved, despite a high mean score of 0.92 at baseline. Neither statistical significance nor moderate-large effect size was observed in mean changes among unchanged group. Responsiveness property of the EQ-5D utility score was generally satisfactory with respect to each health condition group.
conclusionsEQ-5D is found to be able to capture positive changes, and responsive in detecting important clinical changes in the improved group of this AIS population.
