Measuring the Wellbeing of Cancer Patients with Generic and Disease-Specific Instruments.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Different wellbeing measures have been used among cancer patients. This study aimed to first investigate the sensitivity of health state utility (HSU), capability, and subjective wellbeing (SWB) instruments in cancer. A cancer-specific instrument (QLQ-C30) was included and transferred onto the cancer-specific HSU scores. Furthermore, it examined the relative importance of key life domains explaining overall life satisfaction. Data were drawn from the Multi-instrument Comparison survey. Linear regression was used to explore the extent to which the QLQ-C30 sub-scales explain HSU and SWB. Kernel-based Regularized Least Squares (KRLS), a machine learning method, was used to explore the life domain importance of cancer patients. As expected, the QLQ-C30 sub-scales explained the vast majority of the variance in its derived cancer-specific HSU (R
