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
backgroundVision-related quality of life is an important endpoint for evaluation studies and quality assurance projects. The objective of this study is to conduct a psychometric test of the German version of the "Children's Visual Function Questionnaire" (FKS) in the version for children over age 3.
methodsIn a sample of n=236 children with various eye diseases distribution properties, internal consistency, unidimensionality, validity, and the fit of the FKS data to the Rasch model are tested. In addition, reference values are given for users.
resultsThe FKS has satisfactory internal consistency and is valid in the sense that expected significant correlations occur with visual acuity. The weakness of the FKS, which provides impulses for further development, is primarily related to the scales for competence and personality in the following three areas: (1) high percentage of inapplicable questions, (2) ceiling effects, and (3) lack of unidimensionality.
conclusionsOverall, the FKS satisfactorily complies with psychometric standards. Therefore, it can be applied to assess children's vision-related quality of life.
