Evaluation of the Accuracy of Contactless Consumer Sleep-Tracking Devices Application in Human Experiment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Compared with the gold standard, polysomnography (PSG), and silver standard, actigraphy, contactless consumer sleep-tracking devices (CCSTDs) are more advantageous for implementing large-sample and long-period experiments in the field and out of the laboratory due to their low price, convenience, and unobtrusiveness. This review aimed to examine the effectiveness of CCSTDs application in human experiments. A systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) of their performance in monitoring sleep parameters were conducted (PROSPERO: CRD42022342378). PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRALE, and Web of Science were searched, and 26 articles were qualified for systematic review, of which 22 provided quantitative data for meta-analysis. The findings show that CCSTDs had a better accuracy in the experimental group of healthy participants who wore mattress-based devices with piezoelectric sensors. CCSTDs' performance in distinguishing waking from sleeping epochs is as good as that of actigraphy. Moreover, CCSTDs provide data on sleep stages that are not available when actigraphy is used. Therefore, CCSTDs could be an effective alternative tool to PSG and actigraphy in human experiments.
