Design of Smart Steering Wheel for Unobtrusive Health and Drowsiness Monitoring.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
This article describes the design of a smart steering wheel intended for use in unobtrusive health and drowsiness monitoring. The aging population, cardiovascular disease, personalized medicine, and driver fatigue were significant motivations for developing a monitoring platform in cars because people spent much time in cars. The purpose was to create a unique, comprehensive monitoring system for the driver. The crucial parameters in health or drowsiness monitoring, such as heart rate, heart rate variability, and blood oxygenation, are measured by an electrocardiograph and oximeter integrated into the steering wheel. In addition, an inertial unit was integrated into the steering wheel to record and analyze the movement patterns performed by the driver while driving. The developed steering wheel was tested under laboratory and real-life conditions. The measured signals were verified by commercial devices to confirm data correctness and accuracy. The resulting signals show the applicability of the developed platform in further detecting specific cardiovascular diseases (especially atrial fibrillation) and drowsiness.
