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

objectiveThis study aims to establish EQ-5D-Y-3L population norms in Jiangsu, China by conducting a large-scale cross-sectional survey.

methodsChildren and adolescents aged 9-17 from three cities of Jiangsu Province were selected by multistage stratified random sampling to complete the EQ-5D-Y-3L instrument independently. Population norms for Jiangsu, China were determined by calculating statistics based on age and gender. Logistic and Tobit regression models were employed to explain the relationship between HRQoL and factors such as sociodemographic characteristics/recent acute symptoms (experienced fever/cough/sore throat/diarrhea in the past two weeks).

resultsThree cities yielded 37,574 valid samples (a sample validity rate of 95.4%). The EQ-5D-Y-3L utility values (mean ± SD) were 0.964 ± 0.085 for males and 0.958 ± 0.077 for females. Males scored 85.94 ± 19.62 and females scored 84.83 ± 18.45 on the VAS (mean ± SD), while the percentages of respondents reporting full health ranged from 58.3 to 78.8%. The dimension in which most respondents reported having no problems was "feeling worried, sad, or unhappy" (23.0%). And the lowest HRQoL was shown in the 14-year-old age group. Gender, age, board at school, and BMI were found to have an association with HRQoL. In addition, recent acute symptoms also correlate with some aspects of HRQoL.

conclusionsThis study established EQ-5D-Y-3L population norms in Jiangsu, China for the first time. These norms will support resource allocation decision-making and be used as a reference for health evaluation studies.
