Development of a Prototype for a Bilingual Patient-Reported Outcome Measure of the Important Health Aspects of Quality of Life in People Living with HIV: The Preference Based HIV Index (PB-HIV).
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
(1) Background: The aim of this project was to develop a short, HIV-specific, health-related quality of life measure with a scoring system based on patient preferences for the different dimensions of the Preference-Based HIV Index (PB-HIV). (2) Methods: This study is a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Canadian Positive Brain Health Now cohort (n = 854; mean age 53 years). Items from the standardized measures were mapped to the areas from the Patient-Generated Index and formed the domains. A Rasch analysis was used to identify the best performing item to represent each dimension. Each item was then regressed on self-rated health (scored 0 to 100) and the regression parameters were used as scaling weights to form an index score for the prototype measure. (3) Results: Seven independent dimensions with three declarative statements ordered as response options formed the PB-HIV Index (pain, fatigue, memory/concentration, sleep, physical appearance/body image, depression, motivation). Regression parameters from a multivariable model yielded a measure with a scoring range from 0 (worst health) to 100 (perfect health). (4) Conclusions: Preference-based measures are optimal, as the total score reflects gains in some dimensions balanced against losses in others. The PB-HIV Index is the first HIV-specific preference-based measure.
