A systematic review of utility values in children with cerebral palsy.
Synthesis in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purposeProject aims include the following: (i) to identify reported utility values associated with CP in children aged ≤ 18 years; (ii) to explore utility value elicitation techniques in published studies; and (iii) to examine performance of the measures and/or elicitation approaches.
methodsPeer-reviewed studies published prior to March 2017 were identified from six electronic databases. Construct validity, convergent validity, responsiveness, and reliability of instruments were assessed.
resultsFive studies met the inclusion criteria. Utility values of hypothetical general CP states obtained from a general population of parents ranged from 0.55 to 0.88 using time trade off (TTO) and 0.60-0.87 using standard gamble (SG) techniques. Utility values reported by clinicians of three hypothetical spastic quadriplegic CP states, using the Health Utility Index Mark 2 (HUI-2), ranged from 0.40 to 0.13. Other sources of utilities identified were based on both proxy and child ratings using Health Utility Index Mark 3 (HUI-3) (values ranged from - 0.013 to 0.84 depending on the valuation source) and the Assessment of Quality of Life 4 Dimension instrument, with values ranging from 0.01 to 0.58. Construct validity of the HUI-3 varied from moderate to strong, whereas mixed results were found for convergent validity. Responsiveness and reliability were not reported.
conclusionThere was substantial variation in reported utilities. Indirect techniques (i.e. via multi-attribute utility instruments) were more frequently used than direct techniques (e.g. TTO, SG). Further research is required to improve the robustness of utility valuation of health-related quality of life in children with CP for use in economic evaluation.
