Topography-Guided LASIK: A Prospective Study Evaluating Patient-Reported Outcomes.
Trial report in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Purpose: To evaluate patient-reported outcomes with a validated patient questionnaire following topography-guided LASIK (TG-LASIK). Methods: Patients undergoing TG-LASIK using Phorcides analytic software were prospectively enrolled to receive an adapted Patient-Reported Outcomes with LASIK Symptoms and Satisfaction (PROWL) questionnaire before and 26-weeks after treatment. The main study outcome was the change in the Global Vision Satisfaction Index from the PROWL questionnaire. Results: Forty-six patients underwent treatment and completed the modified PROWL questionnaire before and 26-weeks after TG-LASIK. The Global Vision Satisfaction Index from the modified PROWL questionnaire improved from 4.07 (3.87-4.26) to 5.00 (4.81-5.19) after the TG-LASIK treatment (p < 0.0001). The study population's binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/16, 20/12.5, and 20/10 or better in 100%, 87.0%, and 15.2% at 26 weeks post TG-LASIK, respectively. Conclusion: Patient satisfaction as assessed with the modified PROWL questionnaire is very high after undergoing TG-LASIK using Phorcides analytic software. Patient-reported outcomes add another dimension when assessing treatment efficacy beyond change in visual acuity and corneal architecture, and specialists may consider incorporating such assessments into the consenting process and patient education at large.
