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

Purpose: This study illustrates the application of time series clustering and feature engineering techniques to small data obtained at a fast time-scale from biobehavioral interventions to identify slower time-scale health outcomes. Methods: Using data from 26 adult kidney stone patients engaged with mini-sip Results: Time-series based analysis of engagement revealed that manual tracking was significantly associated with increased urine volume, highlighting the potential for active self-monitoring to improve health behaviors. In contrast, differential patterns of engagement with automated tracking were not related to differences in urine volume. Conclusion: These findings suggest that small data approaches can effectively bridge time scales in behavioral interventions, and that manual engagement methods may be more beneficial than automated ones in fostering behavior change. Absent large datasets to support identification of engagement patterns via deep learning, time series clustering and feature engineering provide valuable tools for linking fast time-scale engagement processes with slow time-scale health outcome processes. IRB Approval: This study was conducted with the approval of the Institutional Review Board (STUDY00015017), granted on 9/22/2021.
