Impact of mental disorders on health-related quality of life: a propensity score matched comparison.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Despite the importance of the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in mental health, research into HRQoL among people with mental disorders remains limited in Korea. Aims: To quantify the impact of mental disorders on HRQoL in the Korean context. Methods: Propensity score matching was used to establish a case-control database. A total of 177 people with mental disorders (38.4% with schizophrenia, 21.5% with bipolar affective disorder, 20.3% with recurrent depressive disorder and 19.8% with other mental conditions) were surveyed and matched with an equal number of individuals without mental disorders from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. HRQoL was measured using the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) scale. Multivariate beta regression analysis was performed to assess the impact of mental disorders on HRQoL. Results: Individuals with mental disorders had significantly lower EQ-5D index scores (0.854, SD 0.144) than those without mental disorders (0.972, SD 0.067) (p<0.0001). According to the results of the multivariate beta regression analysis, having a mental disorder was found to significantly worsen HRQoL by 71.2%(exp(-1.244)=0.288, p<0.0001). Additionally, self-rated health was found to significantly improve HRQoL in people with mental disorders. Rating one's health as 'good' was associated with a 95.1% (β=0.668, p=0.0029) increase in EQ-5D score compared to rating it as 'poor'. Conclusion: The presence of mental disorders was significantly associated with lower HRQoL. Further in-depth studies are needed to explore HRQoL among individuals with mental disorders from a variety of perspectives, particularly within the Korean context.
