Assessing physical activity and sleep patterns in glaucoma using wearable devices.
Article in The British journal of ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimsGlaucoma has been linked to reduced physical activity and disturbed sleep, but large-scale studies using objective wearable data are scarce. We compared activity and sleep metrics between adults with and without glaucoma using commercial wrist-worn devices.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study within the All of Us Research Program (Registered Tier v8). Participants aged ≥40 years with Fitbit data and with or without a glaucoma diagnosis were included (n=40 743). Daily averages of steps, activity intensity, active calories and time in sleep stages were calculated. Multivariable linear mixed-effects models were adjusted for demographics, body mass index, comorbid sleep disorders and cardiovascular diseases.
resultsOf 40 743 participants with complete data, 1245 (3.1%) had glaucoma, contributing a mean of 2.5 years of wearable data. Compared with controls, glaucoma participants had lower daily active calories, fewer lightly and fairly active minutes and fewer steps. They spent less time in bed and asleep, with relatively more light sleep but less deep sleep, REM sleep and restless time. After adjustment, glaucoma remained associated with fewer restless minutes of sleep.
conclusionIn this large wearable-based cohort, glaucoma was independently associated with modest reductions in restless minutes, but not physical activity or other measures of sleep architecture.
