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

backgroundWearable technologies for monitoring cardiovascular parameters, including electrocardiography (ECG) and impedance cardiography (ICG), propose a challenging research subject. The expectancy for wearable devices to be unobtrusive and miniaturized sets a goal to develop smarter devices and better methods for signal acquisition, processing, and decision-making.

methodsIn this work, non-standard electrode placement configurations (EPC) on the thoracic area and single arm were experimented for ECG signal acquisition. The locations were selected for joint acquisition of ECG and ICG, targeted to suitability for integrating into wearable devices. The methodology for comparing the detected signals of ECG was developed, presented, and applied to determine the R, S, and T waves and RR interval. An algorithm was proposed to distinguish the R waves in the case of large T waves.

resultsResults show the feasibility of using non-standard EPCs, manifesting in recognizable signal waveforms with reasonable quality for post-processing. A considerably lower median sensitivity of R wave was verified (27.3%) compared with T wave (49%) and S wave (44.9%) throughout the used data. The proposed algorithm for distinguishing R wave from large T wave shows satisfactory results.

conclusionsThe most suitable non-standard locations for ECG monitoring in conjunction with ICG were determined and proposed.
