The influence of mode of remote delivery on health-related quality of life outcome measures in British Sign Language: a mixed methods pilot randomised crossover trial.
Trial report in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesLittle is known about the efficacy of remotely delivered outcome measures (psychological/health-related assessments) in a signed language for Deaf people. The objective is to explore the equivalence of two modes of remote delivery of health-related quality of life outcome measures in British Sign Language (BSL): asynchronous online assessment versus synchronous live face-to-face online assessment in sign language.
methodsThirty-one participants were recruited through Deaf networks and sign language media. Measures used were validated BSL versions of the EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS and CORE-10. A randomised, crossover trial was conducted between March and May 2023 with seventeen first receiving asynchronous assessment and sixteen first receiving synchronous live online assessment. This study explored whether the outcomes of the two assessments are equivalent regardless of modality of delivery. Demographic data were collected, and eight participants took part in semi-structured qualitative interviews exploring modality preferences and the impact of each modality.
resultsThe mean difference between pre-recorded and live modes was 0.034 for EQ-5D-5L BSL (90% CI 0.015-0.051), 4.33 mean difference for EQ-VAS BSL (90% CI 0.697-8.083), and mean difference of 0.17 for CORE-10 BSL (90% CI - 1.4065 to 1.1775). The confidence intervals for each of the EQ-5D-5L BSL, EQ-VAS BSL, and CORE-10 BSL lie within the prespecified equivalence margins which suggested that the two modes are equivalent.
conclusionThe results demonstrate that EQ-5D-5L BSL, EQ-VAS BSL, and CORE-10 BSL may be considered as equivalent across modes of remote delivery. This further strengthens the validation of existing standardised assessments in BSL. A BSL version of the abstract is available in Supplementary Video 1.
