The Use of Wearable Technology to Objectively Measure Sleep Quality and Physical Activity Among Pregnant Women in Urban Lima, Peru: A Pilot Feasibility Study.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionSleep quality and physical activity can affect the mental and physical health of pregnant women and their babies in utero.
methodsWe investigated the feasibility of objectively assessing sleep quality and physical activity among resource-constrained, pregnant women in urban Lima, Peru. Twenty pregnant women were asked to complete written sleep logs and wear ActiSleep, a wristwatch-like device that records sleep quality (consecutive minutes of uninterrupted sleep) and physical activity (steps), for seven consecutive days. Sociodemographic data and pregnancy characteristics were also collected.
resultsOf twenty women, 13 (65%) had sufficient data collected for analysis. The mean age of study participants was 26.3 years (SD = 3.9), with a mean sleep duration of 6.9 h (SD = 1.4). The median time for sleep onset was 21:15. The mean time for sleep latency was 17.3 min; and wake after sleep onset was 116 min. The mean number of awakenings was 20.4 (SD = 6.7); and sleep efficiency was 77.9%. For physical activity, participants averaged of 6,029 steps per day (SD = 3,087). DISCUSSION: Objective assessment of sleep quality and physical activity among pregnant women in a resource-constrained setting was promising, despite modest data collection completeness. Wearable technology could be used in health interventions to improve sleep quality and physical activity among this population.
