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

backgroundThe SF-12v2 has been validated in general population and other conditions but the evidence is limited in Americans with cancer.

objectiveTo assess reliability and validity of SF-12v2 among adults with self-reported cancer using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS).

methodsSelf-reported cancer participants (SCPs) were identified from 2003 MEPS. SF-12v2 was administered as part of self-administered questionnaires. Physical (PCS12) and mental (MCS12) component scores of SF-12v2 were evaluated for reliability (internal consistency, test-retest) and validity (convergent, discriminant, predictive, concurrent).

results420 SCPs were identified with average age of 59.3 years (SE = 0.9). 10.7% had multiple cancers (>1) and 52% had at least one other chronic condition (OCC). Average PCS12 and MCS12 were 45.09 (SE = 0.5) and 50.75 (SE = 0.5). PCS12 and MCS12 demonstrated high internal consistency (α

conclusionThe SF-12v2 is a reliable and valid instrument to quantify health-related quality of life among adults with self-reported cancer.
