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

Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) is commonly used to assess the impact of health status on quality of life. The HRQL data obtained does not follow the assumption of normality and a non-parametric test was used to make inference in this study. This study compares the characteristics of children with HRQL classified as good, intermediate, and poor quality of life. The children and adolescents that have a good health-related quality of life had a mean rank of 75.5, intermediate, 27.0 while children and adolescents with poor HRQL had a mean rank of 8.5. The health -related quality of life differs significantly across the demographic characteristics. However, tertiary education does not differ significantly on HRQL. The Kruskal-Wallis's chi-squared was 76.95 with two degrees of freedom and p-value < 2.2e-16. The p-value < 0.05 indicates sufficient evidence that HRQL of children and adolescents differs significantly across the three categories. Conclusively, children and adolescents in the three categories have different quality of life. It is clear that most of the children and adolescents had a good health-related quality of life once they have been taking their drugs regularly as prescribed by the physician.
