         More than 40,000 cycles recorded with an intravaginal sensor were used to train and evaluate recurrent,
         transformer-based, and convolutional model variants.
         Results show that while LSTM models achieved the lowest error on standard metrics,
-        transformer-based architectures performed more robustly in use-case evaluations
+        transformer-based architectures performed more robustly in use case evaluations
         for contraception and natural family planning (NFP).
         Predictions were substantially more accurate in regular cycles than in irregular ones,
         underlining both the promise and the limits of temperature-based approaches.
         A pre-ovulatory temperature drop was identified as a relevant physiological marker influencing fertility probability.
-        In simulated use cases, model predictions approached the effectiveness of established contraceptive
-        methods and enabled more efficient timing for conception efforts.
+        In simulated use cases, model predictions substantially reduced simulated pregnancy risk compared to
+        baseline methods and improved timing for conception efforts.
         Despite the limitations of retrospective labeling, noisy real-world data,
         and the restriction to temperature as a single modality,
         the study demonstrates that machine learning can meaningfully advance individualized fertility prediction.
