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

Oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text]) provides established clinical and physiological indicators of cardiorespiratory function and exercise capacity. However, [Formula: see text] monitoring is largely limited to specialized laboratory settings, making its widespread monitoring elusive. Here we investigate temporal prediction of [Formula: see text] from wearable sensors during cycle ergometer exercise using a temporal convolutional network (TCN). Cardiorespiratory signals were acquired from a smart shirt with integrated textile sensors alongside ground-truth [Formula: see text] from a metabolic system on 22 young healthy adults. Participants performed one ramp-incremental and three pseudorandom binary sequence exercise protocols to assess a range of [Formula: see text] dynamics. A TCN model was developed using causal convolutions across an effective history length to model the time-dependent nature of [Formula: see text]. Optimal history length was determined through minimum validation loss across hyperparameter values. The best performing model encoded 218 s history length (TCN-VO2 A), with 187, 97, and 76 s yielding <3% deviation from the optimal validation loss. TCN-VO2 A showed strong prediction accuracy (mean, 95% CI) across all exercise intensities (-22 ml min
