Impact of clinical and patient-reported outcomes on patient satisfaction with cataract extraction.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundTo date, factors that influence satisfaction with cataract surgery have not been broadly explored.
objectiveTo identify variables related to patient satisfaction after cataract extraction by phacoemulsification and to determine the relationship between satisfaction and visual acuity (VA) and visual function (VF).
designProspective cohort study.
settingFive hospitals belonging to the Basque Health Care Service.
participants4335 consecutive patients undergoing cataract extraction.
interventionsClinical data on vision were collected before the intervention and 6 weeks afterwards. Before cataract extraction, patients answered a global question about their expectations for the procedure, answered three questions related to specific activities (reading, going out and recognizing people, and doing housework) and completed the Visual Function-14 (VF-14) and Short-Form-36 (SF-36) instruments. Three months after cataract extraction, they again completed the VF-14 and SF-36 along with questions about global satisfaction with the procedure and satisfaction with the three specific activities.
main outcome measuresThree months after cataract extraction, they again completed the VF-14 and SF-36 along with questions about global satisfaction with the procedure and satisfaction with the three specific activities.
resultsPre-intervention VA and VF-14 scores and their post-intervention changes were associated with both global satisfaction and satisfaction with the ability to perform specific activities. Unresolved ocular complications were related to global satisfaction with cataract extraction (OR 95% = 0.39(0.27, 0.55) , P < 0.001). Both the mental and physical component scales of the SF-36 were related to global satisfaction. A group of patients were not satisfied with the intervention in spite of achieving similar vision-related improvements as patients who were quite satisfied with the procedure.
conclusionSatisfaction with cataract extraction is related to clinical outcomes and is also associated with patients' expectations of their improvement in visual function.
