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.
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
Capacitive electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement over clothing requires large electrodes that can remain in contact with curved body surfaces to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this article, we propose a new, thin, and flexible active electrode for use as a capacitive ECG measurement electrode. This electrode contains a shielding plate over its surface and it is extremely thin and can bend freely to cover larger body surfaces of the curve-shaped human torso. We evaluated the characteristics of flexible active electrodes under conditions of varying cloth thickness, electrode size, and contacting pressure. Electrodes of two sizes (45 and 12 cm(2)) were attached to a chest belt to measure the ECG from the human torso, and the results obtained for both the sizes were compared. Cloth thickness and electrode size showed a dominant effect on the SNR, whereas contacting pressure had almost no effect. The flexible active electrodes attached to chest belts wrapped closely and uniformly over the curved surface of the torso and SNR was increased with an increase in electrode size. Although the ECG signal became more distorted as the cloth thickness increased, the larger-sized flexible active electrode (45 cm(2)) showed less distortion than the smaller-sized one (12 cm(2)).
