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

backgroundPrader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder with symptoms that impact health and quality of life (QOL). There is limited data on global health, QOL and the relationship with mood in individuals with PWS.

methodsParents completed three validated assessments, the Glasgow Depression Scale-Carer Supplement (GDS-CS), PROMIS Parent-Proxy Global Health 7 and PROMIS Parent-Proxy Life Satisfaction 8b, for 527 individuals with PWS.

resultsMean GDS-CS score was 8.29 (SD 4.55), and 18% had a score of 13+, reflective of possible depression. Mean PROMIS Global Health and Life Satisfaction scores were 41.46 (SD 8.48) and 43.39 (SD 8.48), respectively, and are lower compared to the general population. Both PROMIS scales worsened with age, and scores on the PROMIS and GDS-CS were associated with parent reports of depression for the person with PWS.

conclusionsThese validated instruments may be useful for assessing mood and QOL in PWS.
