An Exploration on Attribute Non-attendance Using Discrete Choice Experiment Data from the Irish EQ-5D-5L National Valuation Study.
Article in PharmacoEconomics - open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundGeneric measures of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) permit comparisons of competing demands for healthcare resources using outcomes that reflect the preferences of tax payers. EQ-5D instruments are the most commonly used generic, preference-based measures of HRQoL. The EQ-5D-5L enables respondents to describe their health state using five dimensions of health, each with five response levels. The standardised protocol for the valuation of EQ-5D-5L health states comprises use of the composite time trade-off valuation technique, supplemented by a discrete choice experiment (DCE).
objectiveThis paper presents the first exploration on attribute non-attendance (ANA) to the dimensions of the EQ-5D-5L using DCE data collected following the standardised protocol.
methodThis paper uses the equality constrained latent class model and the endogenous attribute attendance model to examine ANA to the dimensions of the EQ-5D-5L.
resultsThe results suggest that respondents are less likely to consider the physical dimensions of the EQ-5D-5L (such as self-care and usual activities) when evaluating the health states. The effects of ANA on utility scores depends on the interpretation of the underlying reasons for ANA.
conclusionsWe recommend that future value sets based in whole or in part on DCE data examine the impact of and reasons for non-attendance in national valuation studies.
