Acceptability of the health-related quality of life instrument EQ-5D-Y-5L among patients in child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient care.

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
aimThe generic EuroQol 5 Dimensions Youth 5 Level (EQ-5D-Y-5L) measures health-related quality of life among children from 8 years. Respondents report their health on five dimensions with five severity levels and rate their overall health on a visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The aim of the study was to explore acceptability of the EQ-5D-Y-5L instrument among patients in child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient care.
methodsA convenience sample of patients within a psychiatric inpatient care clinic in Region Stockholm, Sweden, was used. Follow-up questions were answered directly after filling in the EQ-5D-Y-5L. Conventional qualitative content analysis was chosen to analyse the open-ended questions on how they perceived answering the instrument.
resultsIn total, 52 patients (83% girls), mean age 15.4 years (range 13-17), were included. Three themes emerged: generic content of the EQ-5D-Y-5L descriptive system; design and wording of the EQ-5D-Y-5L descriptive system and the EQ VAS; self-reporting health with the EQ-5D-Y-5L descriptive system and the EQ VAS.
conclusionThe inclusion of physical health dimensions was perceived as positive, but some patients considered the descriptive system too generic. The results indicate that these patients in general could self-report their health in a meaningful way with the EQ-5D-Y-5L instrument.
