Assessing heart rate and blood pressure estimation from image photoplethysmography using a digital blood pressure meter.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This study presents a non-contact approach to measuring heart rate and blood pressure using an image photoplethysmography (iPPG) signal, and compares the results to those from an oscillometric blood pressure meter. Facial videos of 100 subjects were recorded via a webcam under ambient lighting conditions to extract iPPG signals. The results revealed a strong correlation between the heart rate derived from iPPG and that obtained from an oscillometric blood pressure meter. In addition, a continuous wavelet transform images with a 6-s duration were used as input for a custom convolutional neural network model, providing the most accurate blood pressure estimation. The proposed method received a grade A for diastolic and grade B for systolic blood pressure based on the British Hypertension Society's criteria. It also met the standards set by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. This non-contact framework shows promising potential for efficient screening purposes.
