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

objectiveThe aim of this review was to synthesize the psychometric properties of generic preference-based measures (PBMs) of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

methodsA systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Four databases were searched from inception to April 2019: OVID Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL. Studies were included if (1) the sample represented individuals with ALS, (2) a generic PBM was utilized and reported on, and (3) information on the psychometric property of a generic PBM was provided.

resultsNinety-one articles were screened, and 39 full-text articles were reviewed. Seven full-text articles were included in this review. The mean age of participants ranged from 58.1 to 63.8 years, and mean time since diagnosis ranged from 20.5 to 44.6 months. Two generic PBMs were found, the EQ-5D-3L (

conclusionThis review highlights the need for more rigorously designed studies to assess the psychometric properties of generic PBMs in ALS and the development of an ALS specific PBM that adequately reflects the health concerns of individuals with ALS.
