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

Wearable accelerometers provide an important source for continuous physical activity monitoring, but high-frequency signals often suffer from missing labels, temporal discontinuity, and inter-individual variability, limiting their direct use in behavioral health analysis. This study proposes an integrated framework for wrist-worn tri-axial accelerometer data. The dataset includes 100 participants under free-living conditions, each monitored for approximately 24-27 h at 100 Hz. The framework consists of three stages: (1) data quality processing with label continuity reconstruction, (2) metabolic equivalent (MET) estimation using an XGBoost regression model based on time- and frequency-domain features, and (3) behavioral interpretation using the predicted MET sequence to derive sleep-stage boundary segmentation and sedentary-event alerts. XGBoost achieved the best performance among the evaluated models (MAPE
