Objective prediction of siesta based on machine learning and association with obesity.
Article in Sleep health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03036592 (MTNR1B SNP*Food Timing Interaction on Glucose Control in a Late Eater Mediterranean Population), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectivesTo predict siesta behavior using machine learning models trained on self-reported and objective data-temperature (T), activity (A), position (P), and the integrated TAP variable-and to explore its associations with obesity-related traits.
methodsFrom ONTIME-MT, 889 adults wore wrist sensors for 7 days to continuously record temperature, activity, and position, and self-reported daily siesta. Machine learning models were developed to classify 30-second epoch siesta data, to reconstruct weekly siesta behavior. Anthropometric and metabolic parameters were assessed. Associations were analyzed using linear and logistic regression. Model generalizability was evaluated in an independent Mediterranean cohort (n = 70).
resultsThe machine learning model allowed to obtain 83% of success in siesta patterns prediction. Among the input variables, activity was the most discriminative by the decision tree (threshold: 27 Δ°/min), followed by TAP (0.51 AU) and position (4.7°). In an independent external validation cohort, success in prediction reached 77%, indicating strong alignment between algorithm-based and self-reported siesta patterns detection. Predicted siesta-but not self-reported alone-was significantly associated with obesity-related traits. Later siesta timing was linked to increased waist circumference in women (β = 0.769 cm per hour; P = 0.026). Longer siesta duration was associated with increased obesity risk (OR=2.081; P=0.002), BMI (β=0.013 kg/m²/h; P = 0.034), and systolic blood pressure (β = 3.540mmHg/h; P = 0.049). Greater siesta frequency was associated with lower corrected insulin response (β = -0.037 AU/day; P = 0.012).
conclusionObjective data from temperature, activity, position, and TAP, combined with ML models, accurately predict siesta behavior and its metabolic relevance. These findings support the use of machine learning approaches based on temperature, activity, position, and the integrated TAP, to assess siesta under free-living conditions.
