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

purposeThis study aimed to estimate the health preference-based index scores of the population of patients with lymphoma using the EQ-5D in China.

methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted to examine the health and well-being of patients with lymphoma in China. Their health-related quality of life (HRQoL; using the EQ-5D), demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and health conditions were assessed. The data were analyzed using Pearson's χ

resultsA total of 3261 patients (sex: men = 58.5%, age: < 30 years = 9.5% and > 60 years = 24.6%) participated in the study. The mean EQ-5D-5L index and EQ-VAS scores were 0.83 and 68.8, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that women reported more pain-related problems than men did. Unemployed participants were substantially more likely to report health problems on all the five dimensions of the EQ-5D than their employed counterparts. The Tobit regression model revealed that respondents who were older, unemployed, with low income, received chemotherapy, and with short durations reported a low index score.

conclusionUsing the EQ-5D, the preference-based scores of different subpopulations of patients with lymphoma may support economic evaluation by promoting the simultaneous consideration of both the reasonable use of resources and satisfactory achievement of health outcomes.
