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

Currently, the sedentary nature of office work has led to a steady increase in the prevalence of spinal disorders, including lower back pain, back pain, and neck pain. Medical research has shown that monitoring and improving sitting posture is an important measure to prevent spinal discomfort. The emergence and development of wearable technology have enabled more people to effectively monitor their health. In this study, we propose and design a textile sensor-based sitting posture correction smart garment to realize dynamic sitting reminders aimed at meeting the needs of sedentary office workers. The garment achieves real-time sitting posture recognition through integrated machine learning algorithms, with a recognition accuracy exceeding 95% using a random forest classifier. Additionally, we developed haptic vibration feedback and visual GUI feedback modes to provide sitting posture intervention and dynamic sitting reminders. To evaluate the system's effectiveness and usability, we conducted comparative experiments analyzing sitting posture behavior before and after wearing the smart garment, along with a user satisfaction survey. The results demonstrate that the smart garment effectively helps office workers adjust their sitting posture and reduces the risk of spinal discomfort associated with prolonged sedentary work.
