Value of considering psychological strengths in patients with eye pain.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 characterize the possibility of strength intervention to improve eye-related quality of life and satisfaction with life of a patient who experienced eye pain and dissatisfaction with the outcomes of ocular surgery. OBSERVATION: A young female patient who underwent LASIK surgery and experienced dissatisfaction with the outcome claimed that she had eye pain and had lost her strengths and self-confidence, having lower quality of life despite the successful surgery. We performed strength intervention in an attempt to improve her psychological condition. After the intervention, her quality of life and satisfaction with life improved, although her near vision remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: This case report emphasized the importance of considering positive psychological aspects when dealing with patients who are dissatisfied with the outcomes of ocular surgery. Ophthalmologists should proactively consider their patients' psychological strengths as part of the diagnosis in order to improve their patients' quality of life.
