Development and preliminary evaluation of Chinese Vitiligo Quality of Life Scale (CVQLS).
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: Current research shows that there is no vitiligo quality-of-life measurement instrument suitable for Chinese patients. At present, the DLQI scale commonly used with vitiligo patients in China includes symptom dimensions or items that are not applicable to vitiligo patients. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a quality-of-life scale specific to vitiligo patients in China. Methods: In this study, the item pool was created through a comprehensive review of relevant literature, focus group discussions, and brainstorming. Two rounds of Delphi expert consultation and a semi-structured interview were conducted to modify the item pool and form the draft scale. Two rounds of questionnaire investigations were used to select items and form the final scale. The reliability, validity, and discriminative ability were evaluated based on the third round of questionnaire investigation. Results: The scale contains 3 dimensions and 25 items, and the total cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.54%. The Cronbach's Conclusion: This study developed the Chinese Vitiligo Quality of Life Scale (CVQLS) to measure the quality of life of vitiligo patients in China. Compared to the commonly used DLQI, the CVQLS removed items related to skin disease symptoms while incorporating concerns specific to Chinese patients, such as the economic burden. The scale is thus tailored to the needs of Chinese vitiligo patients. Preliminary results indicate that the CVQLS has good reliability, validity, and discriminative ability.
