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

A crucial aim of wearable electronics is to acquire biological signals from the body with high precision. However, obtaining high-accuracy electromyogram (EMG) signals from a large area surrounded by noise sources remains challenging. In this study, we present a body-scale textile-based wireless electromyogram monitoring system with coaxially shielded conductive yarns that can reduce the influence of surrounding noise. The wiring yarns comprise three stretchable components: a conductive signal yarn, polyurethane insulating layer, and shielding conductor. The introduction of the shielding conductor suppresses noise contamination. The noise level remains below 0.1 millivolts, despite the wiring being directly pressed at nominal contact pressures exceeding 30 kilopascals. The muscle activity at various shoulder joint angles is successfully recorded when another person directly touches the arm and wiring for support. Furthermore, EMG monitoring of the lower body is performed during dynamic activities such as countermovement jumps, jogging, and running.
