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

Globally, there has been a change in the population pyramid with an accelerated aging process. This increase requires a greater challenge to maintain autonomy and independence. Currently, there are technologies developed with a focus on health. This is given by the development of wearables and their areas of applications. As a general context, this technology is characterized by the research field in energy generation, the development of external devices for human control and monitoring, clothing, smart textiles, and electronics. The latter are classified into three areas of application: monitoring and safety; fabrics, perception, and physical activity; and rehabilitation. A literature review is conducted to identify the state-of-the-art in these fields within the last years. The progress in monitoring systems and intelligent textiles is evidenced, being able to highlight remote feedback, materials, and wearability both at a commercial and user level. A discussion is included to address the main challenges and future trends in the application of wearables in elderly people.
