1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 evaluate the recently developed Pediatric Eye Questionnaire (PedEyeQ) in visually impaired and visually normal children, as an initial validation of the PedEyeQ.

designQuestionnaire validation study.

methodsA total of 48 children with visual impairment (retinal, cortical, and corneal conditions) and 59 visually normal controls were enrolled at 2 centers. Five- to 17-year-old children completed the Child PedEyeQ (5-11- and 12-17-year-old versions), and parents completed the Proxy PedEyeQ (0-4-, 5-11-, and 12-17-year-old versions) and the Parent PedEyeQ. Rasch scores were calculated by age group for each distinct domain within each age-specific PedEyeQ (converted to 0-100 for interpretation). Domains for the Child PedEyeQ are functional vision, bothered by eyes/vision, social, and frustration/worry. Proxy PedEyeQ domains are functional vision, bothered by eyes/vision, social, frustration/worry, and eye care. Parent PedEyeQ domains are impact on parent and family, worry about child's eye condition, worry about child's self-perception/interactions, and worry about child's functional vision. For each domain, median PedEyeQ scores were compared between visually impaired and visually normal cohorts.

resultsChild 5-11 and 12-17 PedEyeQ scores were significantly lower (worse) for visually impaired children than for controls for each domain (P < .007), except for the social domain in 5-11-year-old children (P = .13). In addition, Proxy 0-4-, 5-11-, and 12-17-year-old PedEyeQ scores, and Parent PedEyeQ scores, were lower for visually impaired children across all domains (P < .001).

conclusionsVisually impaired children and their parents had significantly lower (worse) PedEyeQ scores than visually normal controls, across functional vision and eye-related quality of life domains, demonstrating known-group validity of the PedEyeQ in children with visual impairment.
