Applicability of the PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic and Fatigue Modules in Romanian Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Pilot Study.
Article in Maedica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) Inventory is a tool used to measure Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in children aged 2 to 18 years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility and reliability of the Romanian version of two PedsQL modules, the Generic Core and the Multidimensional Fatigue Scales, in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Children diagnosed with IBD in our clinic and their parents completed a total of 26 Romanian version PedsQL forms, while a control group of healthy children and their caregiver filled in 86 identical online forms. We compared total and dimensional scores between controls and subjects, along with age, sex, and active versus inactive disease differences. The results indicated that the PedsQL total and summary scores differentiated between subjects and controls, with lower HRQoL and higher levels of fatigue being reported in children with chronic IBD. The Romanian version of the PedsQL was found to be feasible and reliable, with good internal consistency higher than 0.70 and minimum missing responses. However, the limited number of participants meant that clinical activity severity indices correlated poorly with fatigue and generic scores. Further validation of these models requires larger, multi-centric studies.
