Assessing quality of life among university students: psychometric evidence of the EUROHIS-QOL in a Latin American context.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. 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: Quality of life is an important indicator of wellbeing in university populations, where academic, social, and psychological demands may influence health perceptions. The European Health Interview Survey-Quality of Life Index (EUROHIS-QOL) is a brief quality-of-life instrument derived from the World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument (WHOQOL) framework; however, psychometric evidence in Latin American university students remains limited. This study evaluated the structural validity, reliability, and measurement invariance of the EUROHIS-QOL in Colombian university students through the comparison of alternative factorial models. Methods: A cross-sectional methodological study was conducted among undergraduate students from a private university in Cali, Colombia ( Results: The original unidimensional and correlated two-factor models demonstrated inadequate fit, whereas the bifactor model failed to converge. A theoretically re-specified unidimensional model including residual covariance between overall quality of life and satisfaction with health demonstrated excellent fit ( Conclusion: The EUROHIS-QOL demonstrated satisfactory psychometric performance in Colombian university students, supporting its use as a brief and reliable measure of quality of life in higher education settings. Findings support an essentially unidimensional representation following theoretically justified model refinement and indicate comparable measurement across relevant sociodemographic groups.
