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

Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death globally and require ubiquitous monitoring due to their asymptomatic yet modifiable nature. Photoplethysmography is an effective optical sensing technique for non-invasive health monitoring. However, its reliance on the current relatively large and rigid inorganic semiconductor-based light-emitting diodes and silicon photodiodes hampers high-resolution integration thus restricts a sensing from single measurement point. So, it limits detectable biomarkers to monitor cardiovascular diseases in a ubiquitous manner. In order to facilitate, here we report a single smartphone type multi-functional cardiovascular health monitor based on the massive array of organic photodiodes integrated into the most user interactive display device. Therefore, we achieved: 1) multi-point concurrent photoplethysmography and high-resolution dynamic image sensing, and 2) user-interactive sensing within the large display area. These advancements enabled new functions, including high-accuracy screening for cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure monitoring from both fingers, monitoring of finger blood vessels and flow dynamics, and single-device-based biofeedback. Applied machine learning enhanced diagnostic accuracy, with pilot studies showing results comparable to medical-grade devices. As a result, we believe smartphones harnessing the sensor organic light-emitting diode display could evolve into mobile health monitors and digital therapeutics thus revolutionizing diagnostic and treatment.
