The Effect of Partial Sleep Deprivation on Retinal Microvasculature in Myopia With Different Axial Lengths.

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
Purpose: To investigate the effects of partial sleep deprivation (PSD) on the retinal microvasculature in individuals with myopia, using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: In total, 87 right eyes were categorized by axial length (AL) into three groups: A (AL < 24 mm, n = 20), B (24 ≤ AL < 26 mm, n = 41), and C (AL ≥ 26 mm, n = 26). Participants underwent macular (6 mm × 6 mm) and optic disc (4.5 mm × 4.5 mm) OCTA scans. Vessel density (VD) parameters-including superficial capillary plexus VD (SCP-VD), deep capillary plexus VD (DCP-VD), radial peripapillary capillary VD (RPC-VD), inside disc RPC VD (iVD), and peripapillary RPC VD (ppVD)-were compared at baseline, before and after PSD, and following 3 days of regular sleep. Results: Compared with group A, groups B and C had lower baseline DCP-VD in all subregions (P < 0.05), except for the perifovea-inferior area, where only groups C and A showed significant differences (P = 0.001). After PSD, group C showed a decrease in SCP-VD in certain subregions of the parafovea (P = 0.013 and P = 0.022 for parafovea-temporal and parafovea-inferior, respectively), along with an increase in ppVD (P = 0.012). All VD parameters recovered after 3 days of regular sleep (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The retinal microvasculature of myopic eyes with an AL of ≥26 mm show greater susceptibility to PSD than those with an AL of <26 mm. However, short-term PSD effects can be restored by setting a regular sleep schedule.
