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

Dysphagia, a swallowing disorder, requires continuous monitoring of throat-related events to obtain comprehensive insights into the patient's pharyngeal and laryngeal functions. However, conventional assessments were performed by medical professionals in clinical settings, limiting persistent monitoring. We demonstrate feasibility of a ubiquitous monitoring system for autonomously detecting throat-related events utilizing a soft skin-attachable throat vibration sensor (STVS). The STVS accurately records throat vibrations without interference from surrounding noise, enabling measurement of subtle sounds such as swallowing. Out of the continuous data stream, we automatically classify events of interest using an ensemble-based deep learning model. The proposed model integrates multiple deep neural networks based on multi-modal acoustic features of throat-related events to enhance robustness and accuracy of classification. The performance of our model outperforms previous studies with a classification accuracy of 95.96%. These results show the potential of wearable solutions for improving dysphagia management and patient outcomes outside of clinical environments.
