Quality of life in benign colorectal disease-a review of the assessment with the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI).
Review in International journal of colorectal disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
background and purposeThe Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) is an instrument for the assessment of quality of life (QOL) in diseases of the upper and lower GI tract, which is validated in several languages around the world. The purpose of this literature review is the assessment of the GIQLI in patients with benign colorectal diseases. Reports on GIQLI data are collected from several institutions, countries, and different cultures which allows for comparisons, which are lacking in literature.
methodsThe GIQL Index uses 36 items around 5 dimensions (gastrointestinal symptoms (19 items), emotional dimension (5 items), physical dimension (7 items), social dimension (4 items), and therapeutic influences (1 item). The literature search was performed on the GIQLI and colorectal disease, using reports in PubMed. Data are presented descriptively as GIQL Index points as well as a reduction from 100% maximum possible index points (max 144 index points = highest quality of life).
resultsThe GIQLI was found in 122 reports concerning benign colorectal diseases, of which 27 were finally selected for detailed analysis. From these 27 studies, information on 5664 patients (4046 female versus 1178 male) was recorded and summarized. The median age was 52 years (range 29-74.7). The median GIQLI of all studies concerning benign colorectal disease was 88 index points (range 56.2-113). Benign colorectal disease causes a severe reduction in QOL for patients down to 61% of the maximum.
conclusionsBenign colorectal diseases cause substantial reductions in the patient's QOL, well documented by GIQLI, which allows a comparison QOL with other published cohorts.
