Utility Values for the CP-6D, a Cerebral Palsy-Specific Multi-Attribute Utility Instrument, Using a Discrete Choice Experiment.
Article in The patient, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThe CP-6D is a new preference-based measure derived from the CPQOL, a cerebral palsy-specific quality-of-life questionnaire. The CP-6D contains six dimensions, each with five levels. A preference-based value set is required to score the CP-6D on a utility scale and render it suitable for cost-utility analysis. This study aims to estimate the utility value set for the CP-6D for interventions for people with cerebral palsy (CP).
methodsA discrete choice experiment was designed and administrated to an adult Australian online panel. Each respondent answered 12 choice sets. Each choice was presented as a combination of the health state from the CP-6D and duration spent in that health state before death. Conditional logit and mixed logit regression were used to analyse the data. The utility values were estimated as a ratio of the coefficient of each dimension to the coefficient of the duration.
resultsA total of 2002 participants completed the survey and responded to each choice. Generally, the dimension levels were monotonic, meaning the coefficients reflected the ordered nature of the levels in each dimension. The dimensions relating to manual ability, social well-being and acceptance had the greatest effect on choice. The value of the worst 'pits' health state is - 0.582.
conclusionThis study provides the first CP-specific utility value set that can potentially be used in cost-utility analyses of interventions for people with CP where the CPQOL has been applied, both prospectively and retrospectively.
