Feasibility and acceptability of wrist-worn actigraphy to measure frailty in homebound older adults.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background/Objectives: Frailty assessments in older adults are an important prognostic indicator for predicting health-related outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of using a wrist-worn actigraphy device to measure frailty in homebound older adults. Methods: In this US single-site cohort study, older adult participants were asked to continuously wear an actigraphy device on their wrist for three weeks. Caregivers were asked to complete short descriptive surveys. Surveys collected demographic and subjective frailty measures; sleep and activity data were collected via Actiwatch. Descriptive statistics were performed for quantitative data; qualitative analyses were conducted for open-ended survey questions. Results: Twelve of the thirteen dyads completed all study activities, participants demonstrated feasibility and acceptability of device use, and dyads reported overall positive experiences. Conclusion: Findings suggest that wearing a wrist-worn actigraphy device is feasible and acceptable in homebound older adults and can potentially measure objective frailty over time.
