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

The use of fitness apps to track physical exercise has been proven to promote weight loss and increase physical activity. The most popular forms of exercise are cardiovascular training and resistance training. The overwhelming majority of cardio tracking apps automatically track and analyse outdoor activity with relative ease. In contrast, nearly all commercially available resistance tracking apps only record trivial data, such as the exercise weight and repetition number via manual user input, a level of functionality not far from that of a pen and paper. This paper presents LEAN, a resistance training app and exercise analysis (EA) system for both the iPhone and Apple Watch. The app provides form analysis using machine learning, automatic repetition counting in real time, and other important but seldom studied exercise metrics, such as range of motion on a per-repetition level and average repetition time. All features are implemented using lightweight inference methods that enable real-time feedback on resource-constrained devices. The performance evaluation includes a user survey and benchmarking of all data science features using both ground-truth data from complementary modalities and comparisons with commercial apps.
