Context-Aware Delivery of Ecological Momentary Assessment.
Article in IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) is an in-the-moment data collection method which avoids retrospective biases and maximizes ecological validity. A challenge in designing EMA systems is finding a time to ask EMA questions that increases participant engagement and improves the quality of data collection. In this work, we introduce SEP-EMA, a machine learning-based method for providing transition-based context-aware EMA prompt timings. We compare our proposed technique with traditional time-based prompting for 19 individuals living in smart homes. Results reveal that SEP-EMA increased participant response rate by 7.19% compared to time-based prompting. Our findings suggest that prompting during activity transitions makes the EMA process more usable and effective by increasing EMA response rates and mitigating loss of data due to low response rates.
