Vision-Related Quality of Life Among Healthy, Preperimetric Glaucoma, and Perimetric Glaucoma Patients.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology, 2023. 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 investigate the association of vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) with the central visual field and macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness in healthy control participants, patients with preperimetric glaucoma, and patients with perimetric glaucoma.
designRetrospective cross-sectional study.
methodsA total of 39 healthy, 34 preperimetric glaucoma, and 145 perimetric glaucoma patients completed the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ). A linear mixed-effect models was used to investigate the association between the glaucoma stage as measured by binocular 10-2 visual field mean sensitivity (VFMS) and GCC thickness with the Rasch-calibrated NEI-VFQ score.
resultsA total of 436 eyes from 218 participants (mean age = 67.2 [95% CI = 65.1 to 69.2] years) were enrolled. VRQOL calculated by the NEI-VFQ Rasch-calibrated score was worst for patients with perimetric glaucoma (50.7 [95% CI = 47.2 to 54.2]), followed by patients with preperimetric glaucoma (41.2 [95% CI = 34.5 to 47.9]) and healthy controls (29.3 [95% CI = 24.0 to 34.7]. Worse VRQOL had a moderate association with a worse global binocular 10-2 VFMS (-3.4 [95% CI = -5.0 to -1.9] dB per 1 score; P < .001; adjusted R
conclusionsThese findings suggest that patients with perimetric and preperimetric glaucoma have worse VRQOL than patients with healthy eyes. As compared to macular thickness measurements, the central visual field is more strongly associated with VRQOL and may better help to identify patients in need of intervention.
