Wearing WHOOP More Frequently Is Associated with Better Biometrics and Healthier Sleep and Activity Patterns.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Wearable devices are increasingly used for health monitoring, yet the impact of consistent wear on physiological and behavioral outcomes is unclear. Leveraging nearly a million days and nights of longitudinal data from 11,914 subscribers, we examined the associations between the frequency of wearing a wrist-worn wearable device (WHOOP Inc., Boston, MA, USA) and 12-week changes in biometric, sleep, and activity profiles, modeling both between- and within-person effects. Higher average wear frequency and week-to-week increases in wear were associated with a lower resting heart rate (RHR), higher heart rate variability (HRV), longer and more consistent sleep, and greater weekly and daily physical activity duration (Ps < 0.01). A within-person multiple mediation analysis indicated that increased sleep duration partially mediated the association between wear frequency and a standardized (z-scored) RHR (indirect effect = -0.0387 [95% CI: -0.0464, -0.0326]), whereas physical activity minutes did not (indirect effect = 0.0003 [95% CI: -0.0036, 0.0040]). A Granger causality analysis revealed a modest but notable association between prior wear frequency and future RHR in participants averaging ≤5 days of weekly wear (
