Effect of lens surgery on health-related quality of life in preschool children with congenital ectopia lentis.

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
aimTo evaluate the effect of lens surgery on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of preschool children with congenital ectopia lentis (CEL).
methodsA prospective self-controlled study was conducted in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. Children aged from 5 to 7y whom were diagnosed with CEL and underwent phacoemulsification with scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and their parents were enrolled in this study. All of them completed the child and proxy (parental) PedsQL™ 4.0 before and after the surgery. Their preoperative scores were compared to their postoperative ones. Subgroup analyses were performed based on gender and preoperative bilateral presenting visual acuity of the children.
resultsThirty-two children with CEL successfully underwent surgery without any complications, among whom 8 had monocular surgery and 24 had binocular surgery. Preoperative and postoperative questionnaires were completed by 32 child-parent pairs. Surgical intervention could significantly improve the vision of affected children (
conclusionCEL is associated with significantly worse quality of life in preschool children. Surgical intervention can significantly improve the HRQoL in affected children from both personal and family perspective.
