1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 impact of primary glaucoma on sleep quality and daytime sleepiness of patients.

methodsProspective cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling in South-East Asian population was performed. Validated questionnaires: the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were administered prospectively. Subjects with non-glaucomatous optic neuropathy or concomitant retinal pathology were excluded. Glaucoma severity was based on HVF 24-2 perimetry. Binocular single vision was represented based on the better eye. Frequency of and predictive factors for poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness were compared.

resultsA total of 79 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), 27 primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients, and 89 controls were recruited. PACG patients had higher median PSQI scores (

conclusionPACG patients have poorer sleep quality but not daytime sleepiness. This is important in South-East Asian population with heavy disease burden. Evaluations on sleep disturbances can be considered to provide more holistic care.
