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

The alarming prevalence and mortality rates associated with cardiovascular diseases have emphasized the urgency for innovative detection solutions. Traditional methods, often costly, bulky, and prone to subjectivity, fall short of meeting the need for daily monitoring. Digital and portable wearable monitoring devices have emerged as a promising research frontier. This study introduces a wearable system that integrates electrocardiogram (ECG) and phonocardiogram (PCG) detection. By ingeniously pairing a contact-type PZT heart sound sensing structure with ECG electrodes, the system achieves the acquisition of high-quality ECG and PCG signals. Notably, the signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) for ECG and PCG signals were measured at 44.13 dB and 30.04 dB, respectively, demonstrating the system's remarkable stability across varying conditions. These collected signals were subsequently utilized to derive crucial feature values, including electromechanical delay (EMD), left ventricular ejection time (LVET), and pre-ejection period (PEP). Furthermore, we collected a dataset comprising 40 cases of ECG and PCG signals, enabling a comparative analysis of these three feature parameters between healthy individuals and coronary heart disease patients. This research endeavor presents a significant step forward in the realm of early, non-invasive, and intelligent monitoring of cardiovascular diseases, offering hope for earlier detection and more effective management of these life-threatening conditions.
