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

backgroundNumerous research suggest that longer sleep duration correlates with a reduced likelihood of myopia onset in adolescents. Does total sleep quality influence myopia? This study aims to examine the relationship between sleep disorders in adolescents and their effects on myopia and the risk of acquiring high myopia.

methodsData from second-grade middle school students across 16 districts in Shanghai were studied. A total of 2,337 valid observations collected. Two study samples were established: the entire student population and students diagnosed with myopia. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to equilibrate the confounding variables between the sleep disorder and non-sleep disorder groups in each sample. Odds ratios (OR) were computed to assess the effect size. A generalized additive model was used to analyze the relationship between SE and sleep disorder.

resultsPrior to PSM, the likelihood of myopia among students was significantly correlated with a higher prevalence of sleep disorders (OR = 1.40, 95%CI: 1.02-1.91). but this significance diminished after matching (OR = 1.24, 95%CI: 0.82-1.85). In the examination of myopic students, before to PSM, sleep disorders were recognized as a potential risk factor for high myopia. Nonetheless, this correlation did not reach statistical significance (OR = 1.21; 95%CI:0.80-1.84). Comparable outcomes were achieved after the matching process (OR = 1.08; 95%CI:0.62-1.87). The modelling outcomes of the generalized additive model also revealed no correlation between sleep disrder and myopia or high myopia.

conclusionThis study found no significant correlation between myopia or high myopia and sleep disorder. However, the residual effect sizes post-PSM still indicate potential biological interactions.
