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
purposeThe association of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is rarely studied globally. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the EORTC-Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL17 [phase III]) module, a newly developed assessment on CLL patients' HRQoL, among Chinese CLL patients.
methodsThe Chinese CLL17, comprised of three subscales (symptom burden [SB], physical condition [PC] and worries/fears [WF]), was provided by the developer team through EORTC. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted to collect data. The classical traditional theory (CTT) and the item response theory (IRT) were used to evaluate the psychometric properties of CLL17. Internal consistency reliability was determined by the Cronbach's alpha and item-total correlation. Dimensionality was verified through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent validity was also assessed. The generalized partial credit model was used for the IRT. The difficulty, discrimination, item fit, and differential item functioning (DIF) were calculated to assess the instrument's psychometric properties.
resultsIn all, 318 patients, aged between 26 and 82 years, completed the questionnaire. A good level of internal reliability was achieved (Cronbach's alpha = 0.92). The item-total correlation coefficient ranged from 0.46 to 0.72. There was a mid-to-high correlation between CLL17 and domains of EQ-5D and QLQ-C30. The IRT model showed a satisfactory homogeneity, item fit and good discrimination of items, except for item 4, 6 and 16 (< 1.0). low information provided by item 16 and 17. SB and PC provided more information with theta > 0, whereas WF provided more information with theta < 0. Item 17 perform inconsistently for respondents from different age groups (DIF).
conclusionThe EORTC-CLL17 Chinese version shows acceptable reliability and validity, making it a valuable instrument to evaluate the impact on the HRQoL of Chinese CLL patients.
