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

One of the major challenges faced by passive on-body wireless Internet of Things (IoT) sensors is the absorption of radiated power by tissues in the human body. We present a battery-less, wearable knitted Ultra High Frequency (UHF, 902-928 MHz) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) compression sensor (Bellypatch) antenna and show its applicability as an on-body respiratory monitor. The antenna radiation efficiency is satisfactory in both free-space and on-body operations. We extract RF (Radio Frequency) sheet resistance values of three knitted silver-coated nylon fabric candidates at 913 MHz. The best type of fabric is selected based on the extracted RF sheet resistance. Simulated and measured performance of the antenna confirm suitability for on-body applications. The proposed Bellypatch antenna is used to measure the breathing activity of a programmable infant patient emulator mannequin (SimBaby) and a human subject. The antenna is highly sensitive to respiratory compression and relaxation. Fluctuations in the backscatter power level/Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) in both cases range from 6 dB to 15 dB. The improved on-body read range of the proposed sensor antenna is 5.8 m, about 10 times higher than its predecessor wearable knitted strain sensing Bellyband antenna (0.6 m). The maximum simulated Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) on a human torso model is 0.25 W/kg, lower than the maximum allowable limit of 1.6 W/kg.
