Health related quality of life (HRQOL) from the perspective of patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) in Sweden.
Trial report in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03022812 (Is E-health a Way to Increase Ability and Health and Make Health Care More Effective in Chronic Whiplash? A Prospective Randomized Controlled Multicenter Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThe current study investigated Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) and health related quality of life (HRQOL) from the perspective of Swedish patients. Another aim was to assess medicine consumption and income loss due to WAD.
methodThe present study was a planned secondary analysis using baseline data from a prospective, multicentre randomized controlled trial. The study participants were WAD patients, victims of four-wheel motor vehicle collisions at least six months but not more than five years ago. Neck Disability Index and HRQOL were measured. HRQOL was measured by the EQ-5D instrument. Cross tabulations, Box Plots, and regression analyses were performed. TRIAL REGISTRATION SECTION: The study was registered before data collection started (ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol ID: NCT03022812, initial release 12/20/2016).
resultsThere were 137 WAD participants (78.8% women), and almost three-fourths (74.5%) were married. The majority (54.7%) of the WAD patients were in white-collar jobs, followed by blue-collar jobs (35%) and students /unemployed (10.2%). Both consumption of medicine for neck pain and income loss due to WAD have a negative relation with the Neck Disability Index (NDI). On average, EQ-VAS for WAD women is 58.21 (± 17.625), and for men, it is 61.11 (± 16.444). WAD patients with a university education have the highest EQ-VAS average of 60.42 (± 17.738).
conclusionsThe low HRQOL seen in WAD patients in this study should warrant the attention of the medical fraternity, researchers and policymakers.
