Health-related quality of life assessed by EQ-5D-5L and its determinants among rural adults: result from the Henan rural cohort study.

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
objectivesEvidence on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among Chinese rural populations and its influence factors were limited. This study aimed to describe the distribution of HRQoL assessed by EQ-5D-5L and its determinants among a Chinese rural population.
methodsA total of 23,510 eligible participants (9542 men and 13,968 women) from the Henan rural cohort study were included. Tobit regression and generalized linear models were performed to investigate the associations between demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, common chronic diseases, and HRQoL.
resultsOf all respondents, the most frequently reported problem was pain/discomfort dimension (23.05%), followed by mobility (12.72%), anxiety/depression (7.77%), and usual activities (6.45%), while the least reported was the self-care dimension (3.84%). The more problems reported in all dimensions with age increased except anxiety/depression. The mean (standard deviation) utility index and VAS score were 0.954 (0.111) and 78.34 (14.80), respectively. The regression analysis indicated that increasing age, former drinkers, poor sleep quality, and suffering from common chronic diseases were significantly associated with low HRQoL, while high education level, average monthly income, and physical activity were significantly associated with high HRQoL.
conclusionThis study described the distribution of HRQoL and its influence factors among the Chinese rural population, which was helpful for medical institutions and policymakers to allocate medical resources and better understand HRQoL among the Chinese rural population.
