Accuracy of Three Commercial Wearable Devices for Sleep Tracking in Healthy Adults.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sleep tracking by consumers is becoming increasingly prevalent; yet, few studies have evaluated the accuracy of such devices. We sought to evaluate the accuracy of three devices (Oura Ring Gen3, Fitbit Sense 2, and Apple Watch Series 8) compared to the gold standard sleep assessment (polysomnography (PSG)). Thirty-five participants (aged 20-50 years) without a sleep disorder were enrolled in a single-night inpatient study, during which they wore the Oura Ring, Fitbit, and Apple Watch, and were monitored with PSG. For detecting sleep vs. wake, the sensitivity was ≥95% for all devices. For discriminating between sleep stages, the sensitivity ranged from 50 to 86%, as follows: Oura ring sensitivity 76.0-79.5% and precision 77.0-79.5%; Fitbit sensitivity 61.7-78.0% and precision 72.8-73.2%; and Apple sensitivity 50.5-86.1% and precision 72.7-87.8%. The Oura ring was not different from PSG in terms of wake, light sleep, deep sleep, or REM sleep estimation. The Fitbit overestimated light (18 min;
