Unraveling the causal role of sleep traits in development of diabetic retinopathy: A UK Biobank observational study and Mendelian randomization.
Observational study in Diabetes & vascular disease research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
aimsTo evaluate the potential causal role of sleep traits (STs) on diabetic retinopathy (DR).
methodsThe cross-sectional study included 23,851 patients with type 2 diabetes from the UK Biobank and used multivariate logistic models to investigate the observational association between STs and DR. Genetic correlation analysis and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) were conducted using ST data from the UK Biobank and DR data from the FinnGen consortium to investigate the genetic and causal associations between STs and DR.
resultsPatients who experienced daytime sleepiness often/all of the time had a higher risk for DR (OR: 1.40; 95% CI, 1.09-1.79;
conclusionsSTs may have a potential causal role for DR. Attention should be paid to the STs of patients for better prevention and treatment of DR.
