Sleep and mental status as key factors to asthenopia in Chinese adults.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo investigate the occurrence of eye asthenopia in Chinese adults and pinpoint the factors contributing to it using a 17-item Asthenopia Survey Questionnaire (ASQ-17).
methodsA total of 2509 Chinese adults aged 18 and above from 30 regions in China participated in a cross-sectional online survey in February 2020. The survey utilized the ASQ-17, which had been proven reliable and validated for assessing asthenopia-related symptoms experienced in the past two weeks among the Chinese population. Data on demographics and living conditions, including age, gender, humidity, air quality in their residential areas, frequency of heightened anxiety or depression, daily duration of near vision activity, sleep duration, sleep quality, and history of eye surgery, were collected. Principal component analysis and multivariate logistic regression were employed to identify independent factors associated with asthenopia.
resultsOut of the 2502 participants, with an average age of 31±8y included in the analysis, asthenopia was prevalent in 35.2% of cases. Multivariate analysis revealed that the most influential risk factor was poor sleep and mental well-being, which encompassed shorter daily sleep duration, lower sleep quality, and more frequent feelings of heightened anxiety or depression [odds ratio (OR): 2.07, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.88-2.29,
conclusionAsthenopia is a common issue among Chinese adults, and preventative measures should focus on improving sleep and mental well-being. Further research targeting physiological exposure, different age groups or longitudinal studies to establish causality are needed to explore the role of sleep and mental status as an influencing factor.
