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

A prototype of an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal acquisition system with multiple unipolar capacitively coupled electrodes is designed and experimentally tested. Capacitively coupled electrodes made of a standard printed circuit board (PCB) are used as the sensing electrodes. Different from the conventional measurement schematics, where one single lead ECG signal is acquired from a pair of sensing electrodes, the sensing electrodes in our approaches operate in a unipolar mode, i.e., the biopotential signals picked up by each sensing electrodes are amplified and sampled separately. Four unipolar electrodes are mounted on the backrest of a regular chair and therefore four channel of signals containing ECG information are sampled and processed. It is found that the qualities of ECG signal contained in the four channel are different from each other. In order to pick up the ECG signal, an index for quality evaluation, as well as for aggregation of multiple signals, is proposed based on phase space reconstruction. Experimental tests are carried out while subjects sitting on the chair and clothed. The results indicate that the ECG signals can be reliably obtained in such a unipolar way.
