The Refractive Cataract Surgery Survey (RCSS): A Validated Questionnaire for Quick Clinical Use.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 validate an efficient and reliable instrument for measuring postoperative performance and satisfaction in refractive cataract surgery. Methods: A 10-question survey was designed to assess patient satisfaction and functional outcomes in refractive cataract surgery. The survey included seven questions rated on a 1-10 scale and three yes/no questions. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. Correlations between survey responses and objective visual acuity measurements (binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity [BUDVA] and binocular uncorrected near visual acuity [BUNVA]) were analyzed. Factor analysis explored the constructs assessed by the survey. Results: A total of 477 eyes from 240 patients were included, including 234 AcrySof PanOptix, 53 AcrySof IQ Vivity, 88 TECNIS Eyhance, 102 AcrySof Aspheric Monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). Cronbach's alpha (0.785) indicated acceptable moderate to strong internal consistency. Significant correlations were found between visual acuity and satisfaction ratings for distance (r = 0.256; p < 0.001) and near vision (r = 0.195; p < 0.001). A significant model was found (R² = 0.350, F(7, 474) = 35.86, p < 0.001) with quality of near vision (β = 0.188, p < 0.001), quantity of glasses independence (β = 0.116, p < 0.05), and lens choice (β = 0.434, p < 0.001) being significant predictors for IOL selection. Conclusion: The Refractive Cataract Surgery Survey (RCSS) is an efficient, reliable tool for assessing patient satisfaction and performance in refractive cataract surgery. The quality of near vision and the level of glasses independence were significant predictors of lens choice satisfaction.
