Vision-related Quality of Life in Glaucoma Suspect or Early Glaucoma Patients.
Article in Journal of glaucoma, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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 determine the association of vision-related quality of life (QoL) to demographic factors and visual function in glaucoma suspect or early glaucoma patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe administered the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) on the same day as a comprehensive ocular examination to participants either with glaucoma or at high risk for developing glaucoma. Regression models were used to determine the association between VFQ-25 composite and subscale scores, visual field status, logMAR equivalent visual acuity (VA), age, and sex. In all analyses we used data from the eye with the best mean deviation (MD), best pattern SD, and best VA.
resultsData from 198 participants were analyzed. The mean best MD (±SD) was 0.02±1.52 dB (range, -5.11 to 2.63 dB) and the mean best pattern SD was 1.75±1.03 dB (range, 0.91 to 8.36 dB). The mean VFQ-25 composite score was 91.6±6.7 (range, 54.5 to 100.0). Composite score and the Distance Activities, Color Vision subscale scores were associated with best MD (P≤0.05). The General Vision and Driving subscale scores were associated with best VA (P≤0.03). The composite score and the Distance Activities, Driving, and Color Vision subscale scores were associated with age (P≤0.05). Finally, the Distance Activities, Driving, and Peripheral Vision subscale scores were associated with sex (P≤0.04).
conclusionsVision-related QoL is associated with visual field status even in early and suspected glaucoma. It is also associated with VA, age, and sex. Particular decreases in QoL are related to distance activities, driving, and color vision.
