Measuring Patient-Reported Outcomes in Ischemic Heart Disease: Validation of the Greek HeartQoL Questionnaire.
Article in American journal of medicine open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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: The Greek HeartQoL questionnaire is designed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with ischemic heart disease. Objectives: This study aims to validate its psychometric properties in Greek patients diagnosed with angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and ischemic heart failure. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 158 patients from five clinical sites in Greece. Participants completed the Greek HeartQoL, the Short Form-36 Health Survey, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Psychometric evaluations included Mokken scale analysis, reliability testing with Cronbach's alpha, and validity assessments through Spearman correlation coefficients, and analysis of covariance. Results: The Greek HeartQoL exhibited excellent internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha values exceeding 0.90. Factor analysis confirmed the questionnaire's two-factor structure, effectively capturing physical and emotional dimensions of HRQoL. Convergent validity was demonstrated by strong correlations with Short Form-36 Health Survey ( Conclusions: The findings suggest that the Greek HeartQoL demonstrates strong reliability and validity in assessing HRQoL in Greek ischemic heart disease patients. However, further studies with larger and more diverse samples are needed to confirm its psychometric properties across different clinical populations.
