Estimation of vital signs from facial videos via video magnification and deep learning.
Article in iScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The continuous monitoring of vital signs is one of the hottest topics in healthcare. Recent technological advances in sensors, signal processing, and image processing spawned the development of no-contact techniques such as remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). To solve the common problems of rPPG including weak extracted signals, body movements, and generalization with limited data resources, we proposed a dual-path estimation method based on video magnification and deep learning. First, image processes are applied to detect, track, and magnificate facial ROIs automatically. Then, the steady part of the wave of each processed ROI is used for the extraction of features including heart rate, PTT, and features of pulse wave waveform. The blood pressures are estimated from the features via a small CNN. Results comply with the current standard and promise potential clinical applications in the future.
