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

objectiveTo investigate standardized temperature measurement protocols and intelligent data processing methods to improve ovulation prediction accuracy.

methodBased on Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review reporting framework, relevant publications from August 15, 2014, to August 15, 2024, were retrieved from the MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases. The publications were screened, summarized, and evaluated according to the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme to assess their rigor.

resultsA total of 21 publications reporting studies from 9 countries involving 26,044 participants were included. Fertility tracking system measurement devices based on basal body temperature (BBT) included wearable devices and basal body thermometers. The application functions included menstrual assessment, fertility prediction, contraception, and pregnancy management. The applications were evaluated in terms of functionality and user experience.

conclusionResearch into the application of fertility tracking based on BBT remains in the preliminary stage. The findings of this study provide a valuable reference for the development of personalized and convenient applications, which requires high-quality prospective cohort research.
