Validating the Japanese version of the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) questionnaire.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimTo validate a Japanese version of the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) in patients with symptomatic gallstone disease.
methodsWe investigated responsiveness, reliability, and convergent validity of the translated GIQLI in patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Questionnaire scores were compared with the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) to verify convergent validity.
resultsThere were 120 patients originally enrolled in the study; three were excluded after their surgery as they no longer met the inclusion criteria. Questionnaires were collected from the remaining 117 patients (100% response rate). At 2 weeks post-surgery, total GIQLI score increased significantly from pre-surgery levels, suggesting high responsiveness. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.901 to 0.934 for the total score, while a comparison of scores at 2 vs 6 weeks post-surgery yielded an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.843; thus, the Japanese version of the questionnaire was reliable. Correlations with GSRS ranged between -0.459 and -0.679, indicating fair to good convergent validity.
conclusionThe Japanese GIQLI had high responsiveness and reliability to assess how surgery for symptomatic gallstone disease influenced patient quality of life.
