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 a common human reaction to demanding circumstances, and prolonged and excessive stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Heart rate variability (HRV) is widely used as a measure of stress due to its ability to capture variations in the time intervals between heartbeats. However, achieving high accuracy in stress detection through machine learning (ML), using a reduced set of statistical features extracted from HRV, remains a significant challenge. In this study, we aim to address these challenges by proposing lightweight ML models that can effectively detect stress using minimal HRV features and are computationally efficient enough for IoT deployment. We have developed ML models incorporating efficient feature selection techniques and hyper-parameter tuning. The publicly available SWELL-KW dataset has been utilized for evaluating the performance of our models. Our results demonstrate that lightweight models such as
