An Individualized Multi-Modal Approach for Detection of Medication "Off" Episodes in Parkinson's Disease via Wearable Sensors.

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
The primary treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) is supplementation of levodopa (L-dopa). With disease progression, people may experience motor and non-motor fluctuations, whereby the PD symptoms return before the next dose of medication. Paradoxically, in order to prevent wearing-off, one must take the next dose while still feeling well, as the upcoming off episodes can be unpredictable. Waiting until feeling wearing-off and then taking the next dose of medication is a sub-optimal strategy, as the medication can take up to an hour to be absorbed. Ultimately, early detection of wearing-off before people are consciously aware would be ideal. Towards this goal, we examined whether or not a wearable sensor recording autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity could be used to predict wearing-off in people on L-dopa. We had PD subjects on L-dopa record a diary of their on/off status over 24 hours while wearing a wearable sensor (E4 wristband
