General Health-Related Quality of Life in Aphakic Children with Unilateral Congenital Cataract.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 general health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with congenital cataract to better understand how the condition affects their QoL. Methods: This cross-sectional study included all unilateral aphakic children, from 2 to 7 years old, who were referred to the Farabi Eye hospital Contact Lens Clinic in Tehran, Iran from October 2018 to September 2019. Their HRQoL was assessed with the Persian version of pediatric quality of life inventory™ (PedsQL™) 4.0 Generic Core Scale. Results: A total number of 38 children (18 girls and 20 boys) enrolled in the study. Their mean age at the time of referral was 40.05 months. Based on PedsQL 4.0 scoring instruction, Physical Functioning Scale Score (90.29), Emotional Functioning Scale Score (78.15), and Social Functioning Scale Score (88.81) were calculated. Psychosocial health summary score (83.48) and physical health summary score (90.29) were also measured using their instructions. The average psychosocial health summary score (83.48) and physical health summary score (90.29) ultimately determined the PedsQL 4.0 total score (86.89). Conclusions: Our results revealed that congenital cataract has a bigger psychosocial impact rather than physical, according to both children and parents. This could emphasize the significance of psychosocial support and information concerning the long-term visual prognosis.
