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

objectiveTo explore generating a health utility value set for the Chinese medicine Quality of life-11 Dimensions (CQ-11D), a utility instrument designed to assess patients' health status while receiving TCM treatment, among the Chinese population.

methodsThe study was designed to recruit at least 2400 respondents across mainland China to complete one-to-one, face-to-face interviews. Respondents completed ten discrete choice experiment with survival duration (DCE

resultsA total of 2,586 respondents were invited to participate in the survey and 2498 valid interviews were completed (a completion rate of 96.60%). The modified conditional logit model with combing logically inconsistent levels was ultimately selected to construct the health utility value set for the CQ-11D instrument. The range of the measurable health utility value was -0.868 ~ 1.

conclusionThe study provides the first utility value set for the CQ-11D among the Chinese population. The CQ-11D and corresponding utility value set can be used to measure the health utility values of patients undergoing traditional Chinese medicine interventions, and further facilitate relevant cost-utility analyses. The application of the CQ-11D can support TCM resource allocation in China.
