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

Continuously operating wearables offer detailed insight into chronic health conditions and have the potential to reshape diagnostic and screening tools. However, the energy demands and large datasets created by constant monitoring over weeks to months are difficult or impossible to integrate into existing clinical practice, limiting the utility of this device class. Machine learning offers the opportunity to condense these large datasets into streamlined, digestible trends with the potential for significant clinical impact, although off-device inference requires advanced network infrastructure and substantial power availability for radios. Here, we introduce a device framework that integrates artificial intelligence with clinical grade biosignal acquisition at the edge, performing on-device inference with clinical grade fidelity over extended durations with no interaction required by the wearer. We utilize this framework to perform gait-based frailty assessment during in vivo trials (N
