Real-Time PPG-Based Biometric Identification: Advancing Security with 2D Gram Matrices and Deep Learning Models.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 integration of liveness detection into biometric systems is crucial for countering spoofing attacks and enhancing security. This study investigates the efficacy of photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, which offer distinct advantages over traditional biometric techniques. PPG signals are non-invasive, inherently contain liveness information that is highly resistant to spoofing, and are cost-efficient, making them a superior alternative for biometric authentication. A comprehensive protocol was established to collect PPG signals from 40 subjects using a custom-built acquisition system. These signals were then transformed into two-dimensional representations through the Gram matrix conversion technique. To analyze and authenticate users, we employed an EfficientNetV2 B0 model integrated with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, achieving a remarkable 99% accuracy on the test set. Additionally, the model demonstrated outstanding precision, recall, and F1 scores. The refined model was further validated in real-time identification scenarios, underscoring its effectiveness and robustness for next-generation biometric recognition systems.
