EQ-5D-Y Population Norms for Japanese Children and Adolescents.

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
objectiveThis study was aimed at establishing population norms of EQ-5D-Y in Japan by a nationwide large sample survey.
methodsWe performed a door-to-door survey by visiting the homes of children/adolescents aged 8-15 years selected by random sampling. The planned sample size was 3600 from 100 districts in Japan. Children/adolescents were asked to respond to the EQ-5D-Y instrument, and their parents, to background questions on themselves and their children. Summary statistics by age/sex were calculated to obtain the Japanese population norms. A multiple linear regression model was used to examine the relationships between the EQ-5D-Y index and their parents' demographic factors, the children/adolescents' diseases/symptoms and the family environment.
resultsWe collected 3636 responses from 100 districts. The overall EQ-5D-Y index values (all sexes, ages) ranged from 0.90 to 0.95. The percentage of respondents reporting full health ranged from 40 to 60%. In regard to the influence of the children/adolescents' diseases/symptoms on disutility, developmental disability showed the largest disutility values of 0.090. Sleeplessness and body pain were the symptoms that exerted the greatest influence on the EQ-5D-Y index; the effect sizes ranged from - 0.030 to - 0.098 for sleeplessness, and from - 0.023 to - 0.079 for body pain. The EQ-5D-Y index of children/adolescents with parents who reported severe stress was lower by 0.072 (p < 0.001), as compared with that of children/adolescents with parents reporting no stress.
conclusionsPopulation norms of EQ-5D-Y were established for the first time. We also clarified the relationship between the EQ-5D-Y index value and the children/adolescents' diseases/symptoms and the family environment.
