Eye-related quality of life and functional vision in children wearing glasses.
Article in Journal of AAPOS : the official publication of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 evaluate eye-related quality of life (ER-QOL) and functional vision in children wearing glasses using the Pediatric Eye Questionnaire (PedEyeQ).
methodsChildren 5-17 years of age with normal visual acuity who wore glasses for correction of refractive error and with no other eye condition or treatment and control subjects who did not wear glasses, along with 1 parent for each child, were prospectively enrolled. Children completed the Child 5-11 or 12-17 PedEyeQ (four domains); parents completed the Proxy 5-11 or 12-17 questionnaires (perceived effect on child; five domains) and also the Parent questionnaire (effect on parent themselves; four domains). Each domain was Rasch-scored (converted to 0-100), and scores between groups were compared.
resultsA total of 40 subjects and 99 non-glasses-wearing controls, along with 1 parent for each child, were included. Children 5-11 and 12-17 years of age who wore glasses had lower PedEyeQ scores across all domains compared with controls (mean differences, -6 to -15; P ≤ 0.04 for each domain). Proxy scores were also lower for glasses wearers across age groups and domains (mean differences, -4 to -18; P ≤ 0.02), and Parent scores were lower for parents of children wearing glasses (mean differences, -6 to -18; P < 0.001 for each domain).
conclusionsIn this study, glasses wearers had reduced ER-QOL and functional vision compared with control subjects. Parents of children wearing glasses also experience reduced quality of life.
