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

Popular wearable devices that record a variety of health metrics, such as real-time blood pressure (BP), could play a role in detecting hypertension in the population. The objective of this study was to compare the validity of the Huawei D device with that of the Omron M3 Intellisense device used by health workers. Sampling was used to obtain patients with normal and abnormal BP. Measurements were taken on the wrist via the Huawei Watch D, while measurements were made using the Omron M3 Intellisense (prevalidated) device used by experienced healthcare personnel at the health centre. A total of 100 normotensive and 100 hypertensive patients were analysed. The concordance statistics were calculated, and linear regression analysis was performed. The intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated to assess the concordance between the instruments used in the measurement and among the observers who made the measurements under a two-factor mixed-effects model, with calculation of the degree of absolute concordance in mean measurements. We found moderate results (systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 30 and 60 min and heart rate at 30 min) and nil for the rest [0.63 (0.36-0.78) < 0.001]; in addition, the comparison of the two groups was verified by a Bland-Altamn graph, in which the disparity of the results was observed. The Huawei D BP measuring device was shown to be relatively effective for measuring BP in hypertensive patients. However, the specificity of BP measurement in normotensive patients was not as reliable as in hypertensive patients.
