Wireless broadband acousto-mechanical sensing system for continuous physiological monitoring.
Article in Nature medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 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 human body generates various forms of subtle, broadband acousto-mechanical signals that contain information on cardiorespiratory and gastrointestinal health with potential application for continuous physiological monitoring. Existing device options, ranging from digital stethoscopes to inertial measurement units, offer useful capabilities but have disadvantages such as restricted measurement locations that prevent continuous, longitudinal tracking and that constrain their use to controlled environments. Here we present a wireless, broadband acousto-mechanical sensing network that circumvents these limitations and provides information on processes including slow movements within the body, digestive activity, respiratory sounds and cardiac cycles, all with clinical grade accuracy and independent of artifacts from ambient sounds. This system can also perform spatiotemporal mapping of the dynamics of gastrointestinal processes and airflow into and out of the lungs. To demonstrate the capabilities of this system we used it to monitor constrained respiratory airflow and intestinal motility in neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (n = 15), and to assess regional lung function in patients undergoing thoracic surgery (n = 55). This broadband acousto-mechanical sensing system holds the potential to help mitigate cardiorespiratory instability and manage disease progression in patients through continuous monitoring of physiological signals, in both the clinical and nonclinical setting.
