Visual and health-related quality of life in cataract patients versus healthy controls.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo compare health-related quality of life and vision-related quality of life between patients with cataracts and healthy controls.
methodsThis research was carried out as a cross-sectional study. Participants were selected from Rasoul Akram Hospital in Tehran, Iran, comprised of two groups: healthy individuals and those diagnosed with cataracts, using a simple random sampling technique. Following the interviews, participants completed the SF-36 health-related quality of life questionnaire and the VFQ-25 vision-related quality of life questionnaire. Comprehensive optometric and ophthalmic assessments, were conducted for all participants.
resultsThis research involved a selection of 130 healthy individuals and 154 cataract patients who were candidates for cataract surgery. The average ages of the healthy individuals and cataract patients were 69.7±3.5 and 69.5±6.5y, respectively (
conclusionPatients suffering from cataracts exhibit a significantly reduced health-related quality of life, especially concerning physical health and vision-related quality of life, compared to those without cataracts. Timely surgical treatment for these individuals can improve their overall quality of life.
