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
A novel ultra-high frequency (UHF)/ultra-wideband (UWB) hybrid RFID tag is reported for object-specific remote vital-sign monitoring application. The tag achieves a record energy-harvesting sensitivity at UHF band by codesigning a meander dipole antenna and a passive rectifier. The especially high quality-factor makes the frontend sensitive to near-field motions such as heartbeats and respiration in a wearable setting. The custom CMOS IC of approximately 1-μW power consumption builds around a low-power UWB transmitter and converts variations of the supply voltage to the impulse repetition rate. The tag consisting of the IC and UHF/UWB antennas requires no other discrete components and features a size of 4.2 cm × 2.9 cm and a weight of 0.93 g. A long-distance experiment verifies that the tag can be wirelessly powered up at 51 meters from a 4-W equivalent-isotropic-radiation-power (EIRP) UHF transmitter. Remote vital-sign monitoring is validated on a human subject, in which the UHF power source is placed 2 meters away from the subject with a power emission of less than 20 dBm. This work proposes a first-of-its-kind remote vital-sign monitoring scheme based on a noncontact wearable tag. The design of the far-field energy-harvesting frontend with a record sensitivity serves as a reference for future works on battery-free remote sensors.
