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

In this study, we investigate using passive data, specifically, heart rate and actigraphy, for individuals with binge-type eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge-eating disorder (BED). By applying dynamical-system theory and incorporating advancements in technology-based health care, we explored the relationship between passive data patterns as potential indicators of binge-eating episodes. Over 30 days, 1,019 participants with BN or BED symptoms used the Recovery Record app on iPhone and Apple Watches for real-time eating-behavior logging. Apple Watches simultaneously recorded heart rate and actigraphy. Results show no marked difference in heart and step averages 2 hr before a binge versus a control period. However, significant momentum and stability differences emerged when examining the changing dynamics leading up to a binge event. These findings suggest that the stability of step, rather than their average value, may serve as a detectable indicator of approaching binge events.
