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

We present a multiday, high-resolution inertial measurement unit (IMU) dataset collected from 50 healthy volunteers using the Actigraph Leap wrist-worn device. Each participant was monitored continuously for five consecutive days and nights, yielding an average of approximately 136 h of raw sensor recordings per subject. The dataset includes three-axis accelerometer signals, three-axis gyroscope signals sampled at 128 Hz, double-channel photoplethysmogram (PPG) sampled at 25 Hz, and wrist skin temperature acquired every minute. Hourly estimates of metabolic equivalents of task (METs) and caloric expenditure are also provided. These estimates are obtained by the Actigraph using Freedson algorithms computed over an additional 32 Hz embedded accelerometer. In addition to sensor data, the repository contains participant-level metadata encompassing age, sex, body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), hip and waist circumference, educational level, and lifestyle. All recordings were conducted under free-living conditions without restrictions on daily activities, capturing a realistic spectrum of behaviours including sleep, sedentary periods, and light daily activities. Data are stored in open, well-documented formats with accompanying code examples to facilitate loading and preprocessing. The dataset is intended to support research in two complementary directions: (1) self-supervised representation learning from raw IMU signals, exploiting the large volume of unlabelled continuous recordings; and (2) supervised regression and classification tasks targeting metabolic outcomes, morphological parameters, skin temperature, and heart rate from PPG data. No activity labels were collected during recording, making this resource particularly suitable for unsupervised and weakly supervised learning paradigms. The dataset fills a gap in the public availability of long-duration, multi-day wrist IMU recordings linked to metabolic and clinical metadata and is expected to serve as a benchmark resource for the wearable computing and digital health communities.
