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

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and pervasive computing offers new opportunities to sense mental health symptoms and deliver just-in-time adaptive interventions via mobile devices. This pilot study tested personalized versus generalized machine learning models for detecting individual and family mental health symptoms as a foundational step toward JITAI development, using data collected through the Colliga app on smart devices. Over a 60-day period, data from 35 families resulted in approximately 14 million data points across 52 data streams. Findings showed that personalized models consistently outperformed generalized models. Model performance varied significantly based on individual factors and symptom profiles, underscoring the need for tailored approaches. These preliminary findings suggest that successful implementation of passive sensing technologies for mental health will require accounting for users' unique characteristics. Further research with larger samples is needed to refine the models, address data heterogeneity, and develop scalable systems for personalized mental health interventions.
