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

Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the performance and validity of the EQ-5D-Y-3L (Y-3L) and EQ-5D-Y-5L (Y-5L) in South African children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: Children/adolescents with CP and those from the general population completed the Y-5L, Y-3L, and PedsQL. Physiotherapists at the school classified participants' functional ability on the Gross Motor Functioning Classification System (GMFCS). Results: Fifty-one children/adolescents completed the measures. The ceiling effect had a 44% relative reduction for Conclusion: The Y-5L showed a notable reduction in ceiling and floor effects, improved discriminatory power, higher criterion validity with the GMFCS and similar concurrent validity with the PedsQL as the Y-3L. It is recommended that the Y-5L is further tested for reliability and responsiveness in this population group so that its utility for detecting change in clinical trials or as a routine outcome measure can be determined.
