Preventing Undesired Face-Touches With Wearable Devices and Haptic Feedback.
Article in IEEE access : practical innovations, open solutions, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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 alarming morbidity of COVID-19 has drawn the attention to the social role of hygiene rules, with a particular focus on the importance of limiting face-touch occurrences. To deal with this aspect, we present No Face-Touch, a system able to estimate hand proximity to face and notify the user whenever a face-touch movement is detected. In its complete setup, the system consists of an application running on the smartwatch and a wearable accessory. Its ease of implementation allows this solution to be ready-to-use and large-scale deployable. We developed two gesture detection approaches compatible with sensors embedded in recent smartwatches, i.e. inertial and magnetic sensors. After preliminary tests to tune target gesture parameters, we tested the two approaches and compared their accuracy. The final phase of this project consisted in exploiting the most robust approach in a daily living scenario during a 6-days campaign. Experimental results revealed the effectiveness of the proposed system, demonstrating its impact in reducing the number of face-touches and their duration.
