Continuous cuffless blood pressure monitoring with a wearable ring bioimpedance device.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Smart rings provide unique opportunities for continuous physiological measurement. They are easy to wear, provide little burden in comparison to other smart wearables, are suitable for nocturnal settings, and can be sized to provide ideal contact between the sensors and the skin at all times. Continuous measuring of blood pressure (BP) provides essential diagnostic and prognostic value for cardiovascular health management. However, conventional ambulatory BP measurement devices operate using an inflating cuff that is bulky, intrusive, and impractical for frequent or continuous measurements. We introduce ring-shaped bioimpedance sensors leveraging the deep tissue sensing ability of bioimpedance while introducing no sensitivity to skin tones, unlike optical modalities. We integrate unique human finger finite element model with exhaustive experimental data from participants and derive optimum design parameters for electrode placement and sizes that yields highest sensitivity to arterial volumetric changes, with no discrimination against varying skin tones. BP is constructed using machine learning algorithms. The ring sensors are used to estimate arterial BP showing peak correlations of 0.81, and low error (systolic BP: 0.11 ± 5.27 mmHg, diastolic BP: 0.11 ± 3.87 mmHg) for >2000 data points and wide BP ranges (systolic: 89-213 mmHg and diastolic: 42-122 mmHg), highlighting the significant potential use of bioimpedance ring for accurate and continuous estimation of BP.
