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

backgroundCost utility analysis is important for measuring the impact of chronic disease and helps clinicians and policymakers in patient management and policy decisions, but generic preference-based measures are not always considered in clinical studies.

objectiveTo evaluate if health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL)-specific questionnaires used in chronic low back pain (CLBP) can predict EQ-5D-5L utility scores.

methodsThe data come from an online survey on low back pain conducted between October 2018 and January 2019. Health utility scores for EuroQol Five Dimensions Five Levels (EQ-5D-5L) were calculated with the recommended model of Xie et al. The EQ-5D-5L health states ranged from -0.148 for the worst (55555) to 0.949 for the best (11111). Univariate and multivariate linear regression were performed to predict EQ-5D-5L with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and clinical variables.

resultsAnalyses were performed in 408 subjects who completed the questionnaires EQ-5D-5L, ODI or RMDQ. Median (range) of EQ-5D-5L was 0.622 (-0.072 to 0.905). There was high correlation between EQ-5D-5L and ODI (r=-0.78, p<0.001), while it was moderate with RMDQ (r=-0.62, p<0.001). The multivariate model to predict EQ-5D-5L with ODI explained 67.6% of variability, and the correlation between actual and predicted EQ-5D-5L was 0.82. Principal predictors were ODI, duration of LBP, invalidity, health satisfaction (0-10 cm), life satisfaction (0-10 cm), and intensity of pain today (0-10 cm).

conclusionData from this study demonstrated that individual correlation between ODI and EQ-5D-5L was high, but moderate with RMDQ. Correlations between actual and predicted EQ-5D-5L from multivariate models were higher and very high. Considering these results, the multivariate model can be used in similar studies for patient with CLBP to estimate the utility scores from the ODI when the EQ-5D-5L was not measured.
