The Relation between Sleep Disruption and Cataract in a Large Population-Based Study.
Article in Ophthalmic epidemiology, 2017. 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
purposeTo investigate the relation between sleep disruption and nuclear cataract, as well as the impact of cataract removal on sleep, in two discrete population-based cohorts.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study of 5070 participants from three large longitudinal epidemiologic studies of age-related eye disease, hearing, olfaction, and cognition. Slit-lamp photos of the lens were obtained to grade nuclear cataract using a standardized protocol. The quality of sleep was assessed using a modified Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to assess the associations between levels of nuclear cataract/cataract extraction and the number of sleep problems. Systemic co-morbidity data were included as potential confounders, including diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, thyroid disease, tobacco and alcohol use, and physical component summary score and mental component summary score.
resultsThe mean age of the cohort was 57.6 years (range 22-95 years). The majority of the cohort demonstrated nuclear cataract levels 2 or 3 (36.8% and 30.1%, respectively). A total of 8% of the cohort had an intraocular lens (IOL) in at least one eye. There was no statistically significant correlation between sleep problems with presence of either nuclear cataract or IOL implant (p > 0.05).
conclusionIn this cross-sectional, population-based study, we found no significant association between nuclear cataract or presence of IOL with poor sleep quality after adjusting for potential confounders. Studies of the longitudinal impact of nuclear cataract and cataract removal on sleep are needed to elucidate the role of nuclear cataract and cataract removal on sleep.
