Socioeconomic Inequalities in Poor Health-Related Quality of Life in Kermanshah, Western Iran: A Decomposition Analysis.
Article in Journal of research in health sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSocioeconomic status (SES) is an important determinant of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We aimed to quantify socioeconomic-related inequality in poor-HRQoL among adults in Kermanshah, western Iran. STUDY
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsOverall, 1730 adults (18-65 yr) were selected using convenience sampling from Kermanshah, Iran. A self-administrated questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, SES, lifestyle factors and HRQoL of participants over the period between May and Aug 2017. The concentration curve and concentration index (C) were used to illustrate and measure wealth-related inequality in poor-HRQoL. Additionally, we decomposed the C index to identify factors explaining wealth-related inequality in poor-HRQoL.
resultsThe overall prevalence of poor-HRQoL was 35.3% (95% confidence interval[CI]: 33.1%, 37.6%). The poor-HRQoL was mainly concentrated among the poor adults (C=-0.256, 95% CI: -0.325, -0.187). Poor-HRQoL was concentrated among men (C=-0.256, 95% CI: -0.345, -0.177) and women (C=-0.261, 95% CI: -0.310, -0.204). Wealth, physical inactivity, the presence of chronic health condition(s), lack of health insurance coverage were the main factors contributing to the concentration of poor-HRQoL among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults.
conclusionsSocioeconomic-related inequalities in poor-HRQoL among adult should warrant more attention. Policies should be designed to not only improve HRQoL among adults but also reduce the pro-rich distribution of HRQoL among adults in Kermanshah.
