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

Today's wearable medical devices are becoming popular because of their price and ease of use. Most wearable medical devices allow users to continuously collect and check their health data, such as electrocardiograms (ECG). Therefore, many of these devices have been used to monitor patients with potential heart pathology as they perform their daily activities. However, one major challenge of collecting heart data using mobile ECG is baseline wander and motion artifacts created by the patient's daily activities, resulting in false diagnoses. This paper proposes a new algorithm that automatically removes the baseline wander and suppresses most motion artifacts in mobile ECG recordings. This algorithm clearly shows a significant improvement compared to the conventional noise removal method. Two signal quality metrics are used to compare a reference ECG with its noisy version: correlation coefficients and mean squared error. For both metrics, the experimental results demonstrate that the noisy signal filtered by our algorithm is improved by a factor of ten.
