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

introductionThe Type D personality was reported as an important indicator of adverse clinical outcomes and quality of life in various diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between the Type D personality and clinical features and the effect of Type D personality on quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

methodsSeventy-four patients with MS participated in this study. Clinical parameters of the patients were recorded and disability was assessed using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Patients were examined with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Type D Scale (DS14), and 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36).

resultsBDI and BAI scores were significantly higher and mental subscale of the SF-36 scores were significantly lower in Type D compared to nonType D (p<0.001, p=0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). The total DS14 scores were found to be positively correlated with EDSS, BDI, and BAI and negatively correlated with SF-36 mental subscale (p=0.02, p<0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that the total DS14 score was independently associated with the mental component of SF-36 (p<0.001).

conclusionThe Type D personality traits may worsen the quality of life, particularly the mental component, in patients with MS. Consequently, the assessment of MS patients by brief and valid DS14 may be valuable for clinical practice.
