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

aimMost children with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survive today, yet about 50% experience long-term complications. This study evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in survivors of childhood HL.

methodsTwo different HRQoL-instruments, the EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires, were sent to all individuals aged 0-18 and diagnosed with HL in Sweden and Finland from 2005 to 2019.

resultsA total of 135 of 377 survivors responded to the survey. The mean EQ-5D-5L index was 0.933 ± 0.11 and the EuroQoL Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) score averaged 75.1 ± 17.6. Females reported lower scores than males on the EQ-5D-5L index (p = 0.007) and EQ-VAS (p = 0.022), as well as more problems within the PROMIS-domains for physical function (p = 0.016), fatigue (p < 0.001), anxiety (p < 0.001), and depression (p = 0.002). Both EQ-5D-5L index and PROMIS T-scores for all assessed domains were comparable with the general population, including differences between sexes. Our analysis indicated that an EQ-VAS cut-off of ≤ 85 effectively identified 90%, or more, of the individuals reporting problems in the PROMIS domains for fatigue, anxiety and depression.

conclusionSurvivors of childhood HL report a good HRQoL. The EQ-VAS may serve as a useful, simple screening tool for detecting survivors in need of psychosocial interventions.
