SeismoWatch: Wearable Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring Using Pulse Transit Time.
Article in Proceedings of the ACM on interactive, mobile, wearable and ubiquitous technologies, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The current norm for measuring blood pressure (BP) at home is using an automated BP cuff based on oscillometry. Despite providing a viable and familiar method of tracking BP at home, oscillometric devices can be both cumbersome and inaccurate with the inconvenience of the hardware typically limiting measurements to once or twice per day. To address these limitations, a wrist-watch BP monitor was developed to measure BP through a simple maneuver: holding the watch against the sternum to detect micro-vibrations of the chest wall associated with the heartbeat. As a pulse wave propagates from the heart to the wrist, an accelerometer and optical sensor on the watch measure the travel time - pulse transit time (PTT) - to estimate BP. In this paper, we conducted a study to test the accuracy and repeatability of our device. After calibration, the diastolic pressure estimations reached a root-mean-square error of 2.9 mmHg. The watch-based system significantly outperformed (p<0.05) conventional pulse arrival time (PAT) based wearable blood pressure estimations - the most commonly used method for wearable BP sensing in the existing literature and commercial devices. Our device can be a convenient means for wearable BP monitoring outside of clinical settings in both health-conscious and hypertensive populations.
