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

Background: Cuffless blood pressure (BP) measurement devices integrated into smartwatches have gained prominence, yet limited studies provide the feasibility and preciseness of daily BP monitoring. Here, we evaluated the trackability of daily BP variance and the precision of the calibration process. Methods: We collected the data from 896 participants, reporting 35,592 BP values, and body composition analysis data measured by the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 device. Participants were instructed to measure BP daily, in the morning (5 AM-9 AM) and evening (6 PM-10 PM) for 2 weeks, with initial calibration and re-calibration after the first week. Body composition data, obtained using the Galaxy Watch's bioelectrical impedance analysis sensor, was measured voluntarily during the campaign without specific time constraints. Results: With BP readings collected using smartwatches, morning and evening BP values showed a significant difference, higher in the evening by 1.42 ± 5.25 mmHg ( Conclusions: In conclusion, watch-based devices may not detect clinical-level BP variability, and substantial extent of pre-post calibration error has to be solved for their utility in regular real-life BP monitoring.
