Solving variability: Accurately extracting feature components from ballistocardiograms.

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
Objective: A ballistocardiogram (BCG) is a vibration signal generated by the ejection of the blood in each cardiac cycle. The BCG has significant variability in amplitude, temporal aspects, and the deficiency of waveform components, attributed to individual differences, instantaneous heart rate, and the posture of the person being measured. This variability may make methods of extracting J-waves, the most distinct components of BCG less generalizable so that the J-waves could not be precisely localized, and further analysis is difficult. This study is dedicated to solving the variability of BCG to achieve accurate feature extraction. Methods: Inspired by the generation mechanism of the BCG, we proposed an original method based on a profile of second-order derivative of BCG waveform (2ndD-P) to capture the nature of vibration and solve the variability, thereby accurately localizing the components especially when the J-wave is not prominent. Results: In this study, 51 recordings of resting state and 11 recordings of high-heart-rate from 24 participants were used to validate the algorithm. Each recording lasts about 3 min. For resting state data, the sensitivity and positive predictivity of proposed method are: 98.29% and 98.64%, respectively. For high-heart-rate data, the proposed method achieved a performance comparable to those of low-heart-rate: 97.14% and 99.01% for sensitivity and positive predictivity, respectively. Conclusion: Our proposed method can detect the peaks of the J-wave more accurately than conventional extraction methods, under the presence of different types of variability. Higher performance was achieved for BCG with non-prominent J-waves, in both low- and high-heart-rate cases.
