Functional outcome and patient satisfaction 5y after laser vision correction.

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 investigate the association between functional outcomes and postoperative patient satisfaction 5y after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study. The patients underwent basic ophthalmic examinations, axial length measurement, wide-field fundus photography, and accommodation function testing. Behavioral habits data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, and visual symptoms were assessed with the Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire. Postoperative satisfaction was also recorded.
resultsTotally 410 subjects [820 eyes, 160 males (39.02%) and 250 females (60.98%)] who had undergone SMILE or FS-LASIK 5y ago were enrolled. The mean (standard deviation, SD) age of all patients was 29.83y (6.69). The mean (SD) preoperative manifest SE was -5.80 (2.04) diopters (D; range: -0.88 to -13.75). Patient satisfaction at 5y after undergoing SMILE or FS-LASIK was 91.70%. Patients were categorized into two groups: dissatisfied group and satisfied group. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of age (
conclusionPatient satisfaction 5y after SMILE and FS-LASIK is high and stable. Difficulty driving at night, sex, and severity of visual symptoms are important factors influencing patient satisfaction. Special attention should be paid to younger highly myopic female patients, particularly those with starbursts and double or multiple images. It is crucial to monitor postoperative visual outcomes and provide patients with comprehensive preoperative counseling to enhance long-term satisfaction.
