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

Heart rate tracking using Photoplethysmography (PPG) suffers from motion artifacts, which can change signal structure in a way that the spectral peak due to motion artifacts (MAs) can mask the actual peak related to the heart rate. To handle the problem just mentioned, a novel mathematical model for heart rate (HR) tracking is introduced. Our technique is based on a mathematical model for a multichannel PPG. The model uses a fixed-resolution spectrum of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Chirplet Z Transform (CZT) spectra at various resolutions, confinement of spectral space, previous heart rate, range of the signal, and a golden seed (GS) algorithm to generate the next heart rate. GS algorithm is a novel technique which is introduced to handle the masking of spectral peaks related to HRs. The GS algorithm utilizes intensity profiling, the Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) algorithm, spectral multiplication and subtraction, and proximity clustering to enhance the masked peak. The average time taken by our technique is 21.21ms and a mean average error of 2.12 on the IEEE signal processing Cup 2015 makes it fit for the real-time applications.
