Determinants of patient satisfaction and function related to vision following cataract surgery in eyes with no visually consequential ocular co-morbidity.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
purposeTo investigate subjectively reported outcomes following cataract surgery and the relationships between such outcomes in the context of falling thresholds for cataract surgery.
settingLarge, private, non-refractive cataract practice, Institute of Eye Surgery, Whitfield Clinic, Waterford, Ireland
methodsPre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative data of 2552 eyes undergoing phacoemulsification and implantation of the Tecnis(R) ZCB00 1-piece intraocular lens (IOL) by a single surgeon between July 2009 and October 2013 was analysed. Patients without visually consequential ocular co-morbidity completed two validated questionnaires, designed to assess subjectively perceived visual functioning and identify symptoms of dysphotopsia following cataract surgery.
results54.8 % of questionnaire respondents were entirely satisfied (satisfaction 10/10) post-operatively, with 83.7 % reporting satisfaction of ≥7/10. Satisfaction was positively associated with patient age and negatively associated with spectacle dependence, dysphotopsia, and function related to vision (NEI VF-11) score. The mean (±standard deviation[SD]) dysphotopsia score was 1.36 (±1.9; scale 0-10), with 40 % of respondents reporting no dysphotopsia symptoms and 9.8 % reporting clinically meaningful dysphotopsia. The mean (±SD) National Eye Institute visual function-11 (NEI VF-11) score was 0.33 (±0.53; scale 0-4) and reduced function related to vision was associated with increasing severity of dysphotopsia symptoms. When linear regression was applied, 17.5 % of the variation in functionality was attributable to symptoms of dysphotopsia.
conclusionDysphotopsia is an important determinant of a patient having difficulty with vision-related tasks following cataract surgery, and patient satisfaction is positively associated with patient age and negatively associated with spectacle in dependence, dysphotopsia and function related to the vision (NEI VF-11) score.
