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

purposeTo estimate SF-6D utility scores for older women with atrial fibrillation (AF); calculate and compare mean utility scores for women with AF with various demographic, health behaviours, and clinical characteristics; and develop a multivariable regression model to determine factors associated with SF-6D utility scores.

methodsThis study evaluated N = 1432 women diagnosed with AF from 2000 to 2015 of the old cohort (born 1921-26) of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) who remained alive for at least 12 months post first recorded AF diagnosis. Self-reported data on demographics, health behaviours, health conditions, and SF-36 were obtained from the ALSWH surveys, corresponding to within three years of the date of the first record of AF diagnosis. Linked Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) data determined the use of oral anticoagulants and comorbid conditions, included in CHA

resultsThe mean health utility was estimated to be 0.638 ± 0.119 for the complete dataset and 0.642 ± 0.120 for the dataset where missing values were handled using MI. Using the MI technique, living in regional and remote areas ([Formula: see text]) and the use of oral anticoagulants ([Formula: see text] were positively associated with health utility compared to living in major cities and no use of anticoagulants, respectively. Difficulty to manage on available income [Formula: see text], no/low physical activity [Formula: see text], disability [Formula: see text], history of stroke ([Formula: see text] and history of arthritis [Formula: see text] were negatively associated with health utility.

conclusionThis study presents health utility estimates for older women with AF. These estimates can be used in future clinical and economic research. The study also highlights better health utilities for women living in regional and remote areas, which requires further exploration.
