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

backgroundThe second version of the Short-Form 6-Dimension (SF-6Dv2) classification system has recently been developed. The objective of this study was to develop a value set for SF-6Dv2 based on the societal preferences of a general population in the capital of Iran.

methodsA representative sample of the capital of Iran (n = 3061) was recruited using a stratified multistage quota sampling technique. Face-to-face interviews were conducted using binary choice sets from the international valuation protocol of the discrete choice experiment with duration. The conditional logit was used to estimate the final value set, and a latent class model was employed to assess heterogeneity of preferences.

resultsCoefficients generated from the models were logically consistent and significant. The best model was the one that included an additional interaction term for cases where one or more dimensions reached their most severe levels. It provides a value set with logical consistent coefficients and the lowest percentage of worse than death health states. Predicted values for the SF-6Dv2 were within the range of - 0.796-1. Pain dimension had the largest impact on utility decrement, whereas vitality had the least impact. The presence of preference heterogeneity was evident, and the Bayesian Information Criterion indicated the optimal fit for a latent class model with two classes.

conclusionThis study provided the SF-6Dv2 value set for application in the context of Iran. This value set will facilitate the use of the SF-6Dv2 instrument in health economic evaluations and clinical settings.
