An introduction to patient-reported outcome measures in ophthalmic research.
Review in Eye (London, England), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
Clinical outcomes, such as quantifying the extent of visual field loss by automated perimetry, are valued highly by health professionals, but such measures do not capture the impact of the condition on a patient's life. Patient-reported outcomes describe any report or measure of health reported by the patient, without external interpretation by a clinician or researcher. In this review, we discuss the value of the measures that capture this information (patient-reported outcome measures; PROMs), and why they are important to both the clinician and the researcher. We also consider issues around developing or selecting a PROM for ophthalmic research, the emerging challenges around conducting and reporting PROMs in clinical trials and highlight best practice for their use. Search terms for this review comprised: (1) (patient-reported outcomes OR patient-reported outcome measures) AND (2) randomised controlled trials AND (3) limited to ophthalmic conditions. These terms were expanded as follows: ((('patients'(MeSH Terms) OR 'patients'(All Fields) OR 'patient'(All Fields)) AND ('research report'(MeSH Terms) OR ('research'(All Fields) AND 'report'(All Fields)) OR 'research report'(All Fields) OR 'reported'(All Fields)) AND outcomes(All Fields)) OR (('patients'(MeSH Terms) OR 'patients'(All Fields) OR 'patient'(All Fields)) AND ('research report'(MeSH Terms) OR ('research'(All Fields) AND 'report'(All Fields)) OR 'research report'(All Fields) OR 'reported'(All Fields) AND ('outcome assessment (health care)'(MeSH Terms) OR ('outcome'(All Fields) AND 'assessment'(All Fields) AND '(health'(All Fields) AND 'care)'(All Fields)) OR 'outcome assessment (health care)'(All Fields) OR ('outcome'(All Fields) AND 'measures'(All Fields)) OR 'outcome measures'(All Fields)))) AND ('randomized controlled trial'(Publication Type) OR 'randomized controlled trials as topic'(MeSH Terms) OR 'randomised controlled trials'(All Fields) OR 'randomized controlled trials'(All Fields)) AND (ophth*(All Fields)). The authors also utilised the extensive non-ophthalmic literature and online resources relating to PROs and PROMs to inform this review.
