Health utility of patients with established rheumatoid arthritis and its influencing factors: a multi-center study in China.

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
To assess the health utility value (HUV) of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients and its influencing factors in China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 8 tertiary hospitals across four capital-cities. The demographic characteristics, patient-reported outcomes including the HUV got by EQ-5D-5L, clinical characteristics, and clinician-reported outcomes of 171 RA patients were collected both from themselves and their physicians. Both the univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the potential factors of EQ-5D-5L HUV of the patients. The mean age of the patients was 50.7 years, with female being 64.9% (n = 111). The mean HUV and EQ visual analogue scale score of all patients were 0.586 and 47.3, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that the patients who were female, older, living in rural areas, with lower education level, advanced disease stage, higher the patient's assessment of arthritis pain visual analogue scale (PtAAP-VAS), the patient's global assessment of disease activity visual analogue scale (PtGADA-VAS), and the Physician's global assessment of disease activity visual analogue scale (PhGADA-VAS) scores had significantly lower EQ-5D-5L HUVs. The multivariate analysis further suggested that older age, female, higher body mass index and higher PtGADA-VAS score were statistically significantly related to lower HUVs. The study provided the HUVs for RA patients with different characteristics and outcomes, which could be used in the economic evaluation of interventions for the RA patients. The identified factors could also assist the health care managing and improving the health-related quality of life on RA patients.
