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

Stress is widely acknowledged as a significant contributor to health issues. Recognizing stress involves assessing an individual's physiological and psychological responses to stressors, which is crucial for human well-being. Physiological signal-based stress assessment offers greater accuracy and objectivity compared to traditional methods. To enhance stress level detection, we propose a novel approach using deep learning models that classify mental stress states (stress, baseline, amusement) based on multimodal physiological signals converted into RGB images through Gramian Summation Angular Field (GASF), Gramian Difference Angular Field (GADF), and Markov Transition Field (MTF) transformations. Experimental findings showcase the effectiveness of the proposed model, achieving an accuracy of 90.96% and an F1-score of 91.67%. The consistently high F1 scores across all categories demonstrate the model's exceptional performance. Experimental results underscore the method's effectiveness in capturing the relationship between multimodal physiological signals and stress, offering a promising tool for mental stress recognition.
