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

Noncontact vital sign monitoring based on radar has attracted great interest in many fields. Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which measures the fluctuation of heartbeat intervals, has been considered as an important indicator for general health evaluation. This paper proposes a new algorithm for HRV monitoring in which frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar is used to separate echo signals from different distances, and the beamforming technique is adopted to improve signal quality. After the phase reflecting the chest wall motion is demodulated, the acceleration is calculated to enhance the heartbeat and suppress the impact of respiration. The time interval of each heartbeat is estimated based on the smoothed acceleration waveform. Finally, a joint optimization algorithm was developed and is used to precisely segment the acceleration signal for analyzing HRV. Experimental results from 10 participants show the potential of the proposed algorithm for obtaining a noncontact HRV estimation with high accuracy. The proposed algorithm can measure the interbeat interval (IBI) with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 14.9 ms and accurately estimate HRV parameters with an RMSE of 3.24 ms for MEAN (the average value of the IBI), 4.91 ms for the standard deviation of normal to normal (SDNN), and 9.10 ms for the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD). These results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method in emotion recognition, sleep monitoring, and heart disease diagnosis.
