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 MD Anderson Symptoms Inventory for acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDASI-AML/MDS) is a specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and widely used to assess the quality of life of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. This study aimed to validate the inventory in Thai AML patients.

methodsAfter receiving permission, the original MDASI-AML/MDS was translated and cross-culturally adapted to Thai. Twenty AML patients were included in the study. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability was analyzed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Spearman's rank correlation was used to investigate the subscales of Thai MDASI-AML/MDS and Thai version of European Quality of Life-5 Dimension-5 Level (Thai EQ-5D-5L).

resultsAll subscales of Thai MDASI-AML/MDS showed an acceptable Cronbach's alpha (0.64-0.91). The test-retest reliability of each subscale was adequate (ICC = 0.88-0.95). The core symptoms subscale in the Thai MDASI-AML/MDS strongly correlated to the anxiety/ depression subscale in the Thai EQ-5D-5L (r = 0.69, p = 0.0006). A strong correlation was demonstrated between the interference subscale of the Thai MDASI-AML/MDS and the usual activities subscale of Thai EQ-5D-5L (r = 0.77, p = 0.0001). A weak correlation was found between the MDS/AML specific symptoms subscale in the Thai MDASI-AML/MDS and anxiety and depression subscale in the Thai EQ-5D-5L (r = 0.49, p = 0.0285). The Thai MDASI-AML/MDS had strong correlation with Thai EQ-5D-5L (r = 0.71, p = 0.0050).

conclusionsThe Thai MDASI-AML/MDS provides adequate internal consistency in all subscales as well as good construct validity and reliability for Thai patients.
