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

backgroundThe SF-6Dv2 is an updated version of the SF-6D, with improved consistency and dimension descriptors, and value sets are required. The aim of this study was to estimate an SF-6Dv2 value set for Australia using an international protocol, while secondary aims were to compare Australian and UK values and to understand heterogeneity.

methodsThe study design was based on the SF-6Dv2 valuation protocol, which involved the administration of two different discrete choice experiment (DCE) tasks. The first task presented pairs of SF-6Dv2 health states with duration (Design 1), and the second task presented triplets that appended 'immediate death' to the health state pairs (Design 2). Respondents completed 12 choice sets online (10 from Design 1; 2 from Design 2). Value sets were estimated for Design 1 separately and combining Designs 1 and 2 using a variety of logit model specifications. Value set characteristics were compared descriptively with the UK model.

resultsThe sample included 3001 Australians. A range of ordered and consistent models were estimated. The models only including Design 1 data resulted in a relatively wider utility range. The value range was reduced by an interaction added when the health state included a dimension with a severe level. The model matched with the UK value set resulted in a larger utility range and consistent ordering of the most important dimensions.

conclusionThe model including the Design 1 data and moderating interaction was chosen for the Australian value set. This allows the SF-6Dv2 to be used in health technology assessment decision making in Australia.
