Assessment of vision-related quality of life among patients with cataracts and the outcomes of cataract surgery using a newly developed visual function questionnaire: the VFQ-J11.
Observational study in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) and associated factors in patients with cataracts and the outcomes of cataract surgery using the newly developed VRQoL instrument: the visual function questionnaire, 11-item Japanese version (the VFQ-J11).
methodsA total of 457 patients scheduled for cataract surgery at 12 clinical sites from November 2008 through February 2010 were included in the study. The patients completed the VFQ-J11 before and 3 months after surgery. The VFQ-J11 was used to investigate factors associated with VRQoL of the cataract patients, the outcome of cataract surgery, and the predictors of improved VRQoL due to cataract surgery.
resultsIn a multiple regression model, the VFQ-J11 score was significantly associated with corrected distance visual acuity in the better-seeing eye (better eye VA), and improvement in the VFQ-J11 score after cataract surgery was associated not only with improvement in the better eye VA, but also with improvement in the worse eye VA. Compared to one-eye cataract surgery, both-eyes surgery had a greater impact on VFQ-J11 score improvement.
conclusionsThe VFQ-J11 is a good measure of VRQoL in cataract patients. The present study indicates that by including the domains measured in the VFQ, the VFQ-J11 can provide valid data on VRQoL and be less of a burden for patients.
