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

objectivesThis is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (overview). The objectives are as follows: To summarise the evidence on the effects of ocular light exposure interventions on sleep, circadian rhythms, rest-activity cycles, mood, and cognitive function in older adults. To outline opportunities and challenges for developing evidence-based recommendations for the effective use of ocular light exposure for older adults. To highlight areas of remaining uncertainty and gaps in the evidence regarding the effects of ocular light exposure interventions on sleep, circadian rhythms, rest-activity cycles, mood, and cognitive function in older adults.
