Vision related quality of life in keratoconus patients with intra stromal corneal ring segments implantation.

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
backgroundTo evaluate the vision-related quality of life in keratoconus patients who had undergone intrastromal-corneal-ring-segment (ICRS) implantation using the Persian version of Vision-Function-Questionnaire-25.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study, 20 keratoconus patients, mean age 33.50 ± 5.50 years old, managed with bilateral ICRS implantation were included. Thirty age- and sex-matched normal individuals mean age of 30.00 ± 6.20 years old were included in the control group. The binocular visual acuity and vision-related quality of life were compared between the ICRS and control groups. The Persian version of Vision-Function Questionnaire-25 was applied.
resultsThe mean binocular best corrected visual acuity in the keratoconus group was 0.06 ± 0.08 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR), and in normal individuals was 0.00 ± 0.00 LogMAR, (
conclusionICRS implantation can improve some social functions of keratoconus patients to the level of normal individuals; however, visual functions and night driving remain affected compared to normal individuals.
