VitRad: A low-cost continuous wave Doppler radar system with 3D-printed horn antennas for human vital sign detection.
Article in HardwareX, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
In this study, a low-cost continuous wave (CW) radar system with 3D-printed high-gain horn antennas called VitRad is proposed for human vital sign detection. The CW radar consists of 3D-printed high-gain horn antennas, commercially available low-cost surface-mounting devices, and monolithic ICs. The CW radar system operates at a frequency band of 5.8 GHz, and the backscattered I/Q data are collected using a digital storage oscilloscope (DSO). The data is processed on MATLAB to determine vital sign information such as respiratory and heartbeat rates. It is demonstrated that the proposed CW radar system for vital-sign monitoring can effectively measure respiratory and heartbeat rates.
