Associating neuromotor outcomes at 12 months with wearable sensor measures collected during early infancy in rural Guatemala.
Article in Gait & posture, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundSensitive measures to predict neuromotor outcomes from data collected early in infancy are lacking. Measures derived from the recordings of infant movement using wearable sensors may be a useful new technique.
methodsWe collected full-day leg movement of 41 infants in rural Guatemala across 3 visits between birth and 6 months of age using wearable sensors. Average leg movement rate and fuzzy entropy, a measure to describe the complexity of signals, of the leg movements' peak acceleration time series and the time series itself were derived. We tested the three measures for the predictability of infants' developmental outcome, Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III motor, language, or cognitive composite score assessed at 12 months of age. We performed quantile regressions with clustered standard errors, accounting for the multiple visits for each infant.
resultsFuzzy entropy was associated with the motor composite score at the 0.5 quantiles; this association was not found for the other two measures. Also, no leg movement characteristic was associated with language or cognitive composite scores.
conclusionWe propose that the entropy of leg movement associated peak accelerations calculated from the wearable sensor data collected for a full-day can be considered as one predictor for infants' motor developmental outcome assessed with Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III at 12 months of age.
