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

Research on QOL of patients with chronic diseases has attracted extensive attention and the QLICD-GM (general module of Quality of Life Instruments for Chronic Diseases) has been used worldwide. To compare QOL in patients with 10 kinds of different chronic diseases, and to explore its socio-demographic influencing factors, so as to provide reference for improving QOL of chronic disease patients. A Multicenter Large Sample Cross-sectional Study with nine hospitals. 1953 patients with 10 kinds of chronic diseases were investigated by a general situation questionnaire, and the QLICD-GM including three domains of physical function (PHD), psychological function (PSD) and social function (SOD). The influencing factors of PHD, PSD, SOD and the overall scale were analyzed by univariate analysis such as t-test or one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regressions. The total mean score of QLICD-GM in all chronic diseases was 65.24 ± 13.50;Among three domains, the highest mean score was found in SOD 72.54 ± 15.55, the second highest mean score in PHD was 62.45 ± 15.37, and the lowest mean score in PSD was 62.23 ± 17.79. Marriage, occupation, education, family economic, medical format were main influencing factors of QOL for patients with chronic diseases. QOL of patients with chronic diseases is low. Effective corresponding strategies and targeted management or intervention measures should be taken to improve QOL, and it is important to give personalized treatment and nursing to patients based on various factors.
