An Entropy-Based Approach for Anomaly Detection in Activities of Daily Living in the Presence of a Visitor.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This paper presents anomaly detection in activities of daily living based on entropy measures. It is shown that the proposed approach will identify anomalies when there are visitors representing a multi-occupant environment. Residents often receive visits from family members or health care workers. Therefore, the residents' activity is expected to be different when there is a visitor, which could be considered as an abnormal activity pattern. Identifying anomalies is essential for healthcare management, as this will enable action to avoid prospective problems early and to improve and support residents' ability to live safely and independently in their own homes. Entropy measure analysis is an established method to detect disorder or irregularities in many applications: however, this has rarely been applied in the context of activities of daily living. An experimental evaluation is conducted to detect anomalies obtained from a real home environment. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the entropy measures employed in detecting anomalies in the resident's activity and identifying visiting times in the same environment.
