Article in Scientific data, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06994494 (Noninvasive Continuous BP Monitoring in Newborns Based on Pulsatile Signal Morphological Features Using NIRS), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Blood Pressure (BP) is an important cardiovascular health indicator. BP is usually monitored non-invasively with a cuff-based device, which can be bulky and inconvenient. Thus, continuous and portable BP monitoring devices, such as those based on a photoplethysmography (PPG) waveform, are desirable. In particular, Machine Learning (ML) based BP estimation approaches have gained considerable attention as they have the potential to estimate intermittent or continuous BP with only a single PPG measurement. Over the last few years, many ML-based BP estimation approaches have been proposed with no agreement on their modeling methodology. To ease the model comparison, we designed a benchmark with four open datasets with shared preprocessing, the right validation strategy avoiding information shift and leak, and standard evaluation metrics. We also adapted Mean Absolute Scaled Error (MASE) to improve the interpretability of model evaluation, especially across different BP datasets. The proposed benchmark comes with open datasets and codes. We showcase its effectiveness by comparing 11 ML-based approaches of three different categories.
