Health-related quality of life among multimorbid patients using the EQ-5D-5L value set for India.

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
Multimorbidity presents major challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. Assessing health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) in multimorbid patients is essential for understanding the overall impact of the patient's health conditions on wellbeing and the complexities of patient management. This study assessed the HRQoL of multimorbid patients in India using the EQ-5D-5L value set. This observational study included 906 patients from tertiary healthcare facilities in Odisha, India, and used consecutive time-based sampling methods, conducted from January to April 2023. The study examined the relationship between HRQoL measures and utility scores using ordinary least squares regression and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that mean utility scores decreased as the number of health conditions increased, with scores of 0.677 for one condition, 0.577 for two conditions, 0.354 for three conditions, and 0.098 for four or more conditions. Combining stroke/paralysis with other health issues resulted in negative utility ratings. The findings showed that younger age (
