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

Wearable body sensor nodes require massive data transmission under limited energy. However, it suffers from drastically varying channel loss, which limits its energy efficiency in practical scenarios. This paper presents a power-driven body-channel transceiver (TRX), whose power consumption can be adaptively tuned against varying channel loss. An out-band programmable gain amplifier (PGA) is proposed to save power and generate a quasi-linear correlation between PGA gain and power. By using the quasi-linear gain-power relationship, we propose an auto gain/power control technique to realize on-demand power consumption. In addition, a differential balanced transmitter is designed to eliminate base-band harmonics in on-off keying modulation and increase the power delivered by the transmitter (TX). The TX and receiver (RX) of the prototype were integrated into 1 chip and fabricated in a 55-nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor process. During the measurement, 2 chips were configured as TX and RX, respectively. Both the TX and the RX were wearable, powered by lithium batteries, and attached to the subject's hands. The prototype achieved a 5.25-Mbps data rate with 16-pJ/bit energy efficiency at a 1.5-m straight-line ground path distance. Furthermore, the proposed TRX maintained stable communication within a 1.5-m distance, while dynamically reducing power consumption.
