Creating an algorithm to identify indices of sleep quantity and quality from a wearable armband in adults.

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
Objective: To develop an algorithm to quantify indices of sleep quantity and quality using the SenseWear armband (SWA) and to compare indices of sleep from this novel algorithm to standard wrist actigraphy (Actiwatch 2; AW2) under free-living conditions. Material and Methods: Thirty participants (47±10 years; 33.0±4.8kg/m Results: There was significant evidence for equivalence of means (or mean ranks) for bedtime, sleep onset, sleep offset, waketime, TST, TIB, SOL, WASO, and midpoint of sleep measured by the SWA and AW2 ( Conclusion: The algorithm developed for the SWA produced relatively accurate and consistent measurements of sleep quantity, timing, and quality compared to the AW2 under free-living conditions. Thus, the SWA is a viable alternative to standard wrist actigraphy.
