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

purposeHypertension is a growing public health problem in China; however, little is known about health-related quality of life (HRQoL) especially health state utility (HSU) of patients with hypertension in rural China. This study aimed to examine the HSU as measured by SF-6D and to investigate its associated factors among middle and old aged patients with hypertension in rural China.

methodsData were collected from twelve villages in Shandong Province in 2016. SF-36 was administrated to measure HRQoL of middle and old aged patients with hypertension and was got to the SF-6D values using Hong Kong's tariff. Descriptive analyses, such as demographic characteristics, socio-economic status, and utility, were stratified by hypertension classification. Multiple linear regression models were applied to assess the associated factors of HSU.

resultsA total of 933 (response rate:86.4%) middle and old aged patients (69.1 ± 8.2 years) with hypertension participated in the study. 39.4% of participants were male; 44.2% had stage I hypertension; 26.4% had stage II and above. The mean score of SF-6D utility score was 0.743 (SD: 0.14, range: 0.32-1.00, median: 0.756, Interquartile range:0.634-0.859). Being female (β = -0.046), having two or more comorbidities (2 vs. 1 β = -0.066; > 3 vs. 1 β = -0.098) and the health expenditure higher than 2000 RMB (2000-3999 vs.< 2000 β = -0.042; 4000-5999 vs. < 2000 β = -0.046; > 6000 vs. < 2000 β = -0.071) were significantly associated with lower SF-6D overall score; while being farmer (β = 0.032), having high household income (10,000-14,999 vs. < 5000 β = 0.045; > 15,000 vs. < 5000 β = 0.064) and having stage I and above hypertension (stage I vs. Normotensive β = 0.047; stage II vs. Normotensive β = 0.079; stage III vs. Normotensive β = 0.095) were significantly associated with higher SF-6D overall score.

conclusionSF-6D was capable to measure quality of life middle and old aged patients with hypertension in China. And multiple factors were demonstrated to be significantly associated with quality of life.
