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

Flexible pressure sensors with the capability of monitoring human vital signs show broad application prospects in personalized healthcare. In this work, a hair-based flexible pressure sensor (HBPS) consisting of lost hair and polymer films was proposed for the continuous monitoring of the human epidermal arterial pulse waveform. A macroscale mesh structure formed by lost hair provides a simplified spacer that endows the triboelectric-based flexible pressure sensor with sufficient contact-separation space. Based on this mesh structure design, the hair-based flexible pressure sensor can respond to the slight pressure change caused by an object with 5 mg weight and hold a stable output voltage under 1-30 Hz external pressure excitation. Additionally, the hair-based flexible pressure sensor showed great sensitivity (0.9 V/kPa) and decent stability after 4500 cycles of operation. Given these compelling features, the HBPS can successfully measure the human epidermal arterial pulses with obvious details at different arteries. The proposed HBPS can also be used to monitor the pulse signals of different subjects. Furthermore, the three different pulse wave transmission time (PTT) values (PTT-foot, PTT-middle, and PTT-peak) can be obtained by simultaneously monitoring human pulse and electrocardiogram signals, which has enormous application potential for assessing cardiovascular system health.
