The reliability and validity of the isixhosa version of the euroqol toddler and infant populations (EQ-TIPS) health related quality of life instrument.
Article in African health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Considering the high burden of disease in young children measurement of Health-Related Quality of Life is needed to evaluate the burden of morbidity. This study aims to report on the validity and reliability of the isiXhosa EuroQol Toddler and Infant Populations (EQ-TIPS) measure for South Africa. Methods: A sample of 181 caregivers of children 0-36 months were recruited from a hospital in-patient (inpt) and outpatient (outpt) facility and crèches. The EQ-TIPS, Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), Faces, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) and dietary information were administered at baseline. EQ-TIPS was administered one week later in crèche children for test-retest reliability. Results: Known groups showed significant differences for pain (X Conclusion: The isiXhosa EQ-TIPS is valid and reliable for very young children in South Africa and we suggest that it be included in the assessment of children with health conditions within this context.
