Utility Outcome Measures for the Treatment of Ameloblastomas during Childhood.

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
Our objective was to determine the potential impact of the surgical treatment of ameloblastoma in children through validated health state utility outcome measures.
methodsA survey-based preference health utility assessment using the visual analog scale, time trade-off, and standard gamble methods was undertaken among a general population sample. Quality-adjusted life years were derived from these measures. A one-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis, with a mean (
resultsIn total, 86 participants took part in this study, with a mean age of 29.9 years. Greater utility scores were observed among participants reporting no religious beliefs (
conclusionsTo attain perfect health, participants would theoretically undergo surgical treatment of an ameloblastoma during childhood, with willingness to trade off 28.2 years of life and accepting a 35.7% risk of death. The objective assessment of the perceived burden of an ameloblastoma affliction during childhood may inspire cost-utility or cost-effectiveness analyses at broader societal levels.
