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

Pregnancy monitoring is always essential for pregnant women and fetuses. According to the report of WHO (World Health Organization), there were an estimated 287,000 maternal deaths worldwide in 2020. Regular hospital check-ups, although well established, are a burden for pregnant women because of frequent travelling or hospitalization. Therefore, home-based, long-term, non-invasive health monitoring is one of the hot research areas. In recent years, with the development of wearable sensors and related data-processing technologies, pregnancy monitoring has become increasingly convenient. This article presents a review on recent research in wearable sensors, physiological data processing, and artificial intelligence (AI) for pregnancy monitoring. The wearable sensors mainly focus on physiological signals such as electrocardiogram (ECG), uterine contraction (UC), fetal movement (FM), and multimodal pregnancy-monitoring systems. The data processing involves data transmission, pre-processing, and application of threshold-based and AI-based algorithms. AI proves to be a powerful tool in early detection, smart diagnosis, and lifelong well-being in pregnancy monitoring. In this review, some improvements are proposed for future health monitoring of pregnant women. The rollout of smart wearables and the introduction of AI have shown remarkable potential in pregnancy monitoring despite some challenges in accuracy, data privacy, and user compliance.
