Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory

objectiveTo develop a mapping algorithm for converting the 23-item PedsQL instrument onto the CHU9D instrument and provide an external validation of two recently published algorithms that might be considered alternatives.

methodsData from children in the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) were used (N = 1801). Six econometric methods were compared to identify the best algorithms, assessed against a series of goodness-of-fit criteria. The same data and goodness-of-fit criteria were used in the external validation exercise for previously published mapping algorithms.

resultsThe optimal mapping algorithm was identified, which used PedsQL dimension scores to predict the CHU9D utilities. It performed well against standard goodness-of-fit tests. The external validation exercise revealed the recently published alternative algorithms also performed relatively well.

conclusionThe identified mapping algorithms can be used to facilitate cost-utility analysis in comparable populations when only the PedsQL instrument is available. Results from this population indicate the algorithms identified in this paper are well suited for estimating CHU9D self-report utilities when the full 23-item self-report PedsQL instrument has been used.
