Evaluation of the internal and external responsiveness of Short Form-12 Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

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
purposeThe evidence on the responsiveness of the Short Form-12 Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is limited. The aim of this study was to examine both the internal and external responsiveness of the SF-12 measures in Chinese patients with T2DM.
methodsA prospective longitudinal observational study was conducted on 1443 T2DM patients managed in public primary care clinics between 2012 and 2013. These patients were surveyed at baseline and at 12 months using SF-12v2. The internal responsiveness was evaluated by linear mixed effect models. Meanwhile, the external responsiveness was tested by multiple linear regression models and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
resultsThe internal responsiveness of the SF-12v2 to detect negative change was satisfactory among T2DM patients in worsened group, but only the general health domain of SF-12v2 could detect positive change among T2DM patients with improved group. For external responsiveness, the SF-12v2 detected a significant difference-in-difference between patients with worsened and stable/improved group, but not between patients with stable and improved group. The areas under the ROC curve for all domains and summary scales of the SF-12v2 were not statistically different from 0.7.
conclusionThis study showed that the responsiveness of SF-12v2 might not achieve the standard. Despite the wide use of the SF-12v2, we would like to urge that both clinicians and researchers should use it with caution in longitudinal study.
