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
purposeElicitation of EQ-5D value sets using time trade-off (TTO) is based on the general population’s degree of preference for specific health states. This study aimed to identify factors associated with health state valuations among the Jordanian population, conducted as part of the EQ-5D-3L valuation study.
methodsA cross-sectional study using EQ-5D-3L valuation data from Jordanian participants was used to identify factors associated with health state valuation. The valuation study followed the latest EuroQol Group valuation protocol (EQ-VT v2.1). Participants aged ≥ 18 years were interviewed via videoconferencing. Sociodemographic, geographic regions, and health indicators data were collected. We applied a quota sampling based on region, gender, and age. Univariate and multivariable (multilevel mixed effects model, Tobit random, and random intercept) regression models were applied to identify associations. Statistical analysis was conducted using STATA version 17.
resultsFrom September 2021 to April 2022, 301 participants were included in the study, covering all Jordanian governorates from the north, middle, and south. A representative sample was achieved. 51% of the participants were females with a mean age of 41 (± 15 (SD)) years. Overall, 69% were married, 50% of the respondents had a higher education degree, and 77% were insured. The mean EQ VAS score was 81(± 14). The multilevel mixed effects model was the best-fit model. Unemployment status and having more than one comorbidity were identified as statistically significant factors associated with cTTO health state valuation in Jordan.
conclusionSocioeconomic characteristics have limited ability to explain how Jordanians value cTTO health states. Future research should explore cultural dimensions and personality traits to understand health state valuations better.
