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

Activity monitoring combined with machine learning (ML) methods can contribute to detailed knowledge about daily physical behavior in older adults. The current study (1) evaluated the performance of an existing activity type recognition ML model (HARTH), based on data from healthy young adults, for classifying daily physical behavior in fit-to-frail older adults, (2) compared the performance with a ML model (HAR70+) that included training data from older adults, and (3) evaluated the ML models on older adults with and without walking aids. Eighteen older adults aged 70-95 years who ranged widely in physical function, including usage of walking aids, were equipped with a chest-mounted camera and two accelerometers during a semi-structured free-living protocol. Labeled accelerometer data from video analysis was used as ground truth for the classification of walking, standing, sitting, and lying identified by the ML models. Overall accuracy was high for both the HARTH model (91%) and the HAR70+ model (94%). The performance was lower for those using walking aids in both models, however, the overall accuracy improved from 87% to 93% in the HAR70+ model. The validated HAR70+ model contributes to more accurate classification of daily physical behavior in older adults that is essential for future research.
