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

Continuous cardiovascular monitoring is essential for the early detection of cardiac events, but conventional electrode-based ECG systems cause skin irritation and are unsuitable for long-term wear. We propose an electrode-free ECG monitoring approach that leverages synchronized phonocardiogram (PCG) and seismocardiogram (SCG) signals captured by wireless mechano-acoustic sensors. PCG provides precise valvular event timings, while SCG provides mechanical context, enabling the robust identification of systolic/diastolic intervals and pathological patterns. A deep learning model reconstructs ECG waveforms by intelligently combining mechano-acoustic sensor data. Its architecture leverages specialized neural network components to identify and correlate key cardiac signatures from multimodal inputs. Experimental validation on an IoT sensor dataset yields a mean Pearson correlation of 0.96 and an RMSE of 0.49 mV compared to clinical ECGs. By eliminating skin-contact electrodes through PCG-SCG fusion, this system enables robust IoT-compatible daily-life cardiac monitoring.
