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

Smart wearable sensors are essential for continuous health-monitoring applications and detection accuracy of symptoms and energy efficiency of processing algorithms are key challenges for such devices. While several machine-learning-based algorithms for the detection of abnormal breath sounds are reported in literature, they are either too computationally expensive to implement into a wearable device or inaccurate in multi-class detection. In this paper, a kernel-like minimum distance classifier (K-MDC) for acoustic signal processing in wearable devices was proposed. The proposed algorithm was tested with data acquired from open-source databases, participants, and hospitals. It was observed that the proposed K-MDC classifier achieves accurate detection in up to 91.23% of cases, and it reaches various detection accuracies with a fewer number of features compared with other classifiers. The proposed algorithm's low computational complexity and classification effectiveness translate to great potential for implementation in health-monitoring wearable devices.
