The validation of inherited retinal disease-specific patient-reported outcome measures in adolescent patients.
Article in Ophthalmic genetics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 validity of the validate the adult patient-reported outcome measure tools, the Michigan Retinal Degeneration Questionnaire (MRDQ) and Michigan Vision-Related Anxiety Questionnaire (MVAQ), in adolescent patients with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs).
methodsNinety-one adolescent patients diagnosed with IRDs were recruited at the Hospital for Sick Children (University of Toronto) and the Kellogg Eye Center (University of Michigan). The patients were administered the MRDQ, MVAQ, and Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4). Test-retest variability was assessed in eighteen patients within 14 days of the initial administration. Adolescent responses were analyzed for validity and reliability. As a further validation step, comparisons were made to adult data from the original MRDQ and MVAQ studies to ensure consistency in response ranges.
resultsThe existing MRDQ and MVAQ content and format could accurately detect the impact of IRD on activities of daily living in adolescents with IRDs. No floor/ceiling effects were identified, test-retest reliability was established (r = 0.73-0.86), and no items were excluded after differential item functioning analysis. Domain and trait associations with visual acuity and IRD phenotypes were similar between adolescents and adults.
conclusionsThe MRDQ and MVAQ are psychometrically validated questionnaires for which we have shown validity for use in adolescent patients with IRDs.
