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

Aiming to develop an advanced monitoring system for divers acting underwater, which is an uncommon environment, we experimentally investigated whether blinking and gaze-point movement can be detected by using our previously proposed simple method of non-invasive bioelectric measurement utilizing the conductivity of seawater for electrocardiography and electromyography. In this experiment, bioelectrodes (target electrodes) were placed on the skin near one eye in the airspace inside a diving mask, and another electrode (common electrode) was placed outside the diving mask in contact with seawater. The bioelectric potentials induced between the target and common electrodes were measured when the participants in the experiment blinked and moved their gaze point within the diving mask in seawater. The results of the measurements revealed that changes in the bioelectric potentials can be observed when the participant was performing these actions; in other words, electrooculograms (EOGs) can be obtained by using our previously proposed method. A model of the proposed measurement method, namely, a simple electric circuit consisting of resistors and a battery, was then used to demonstrate that it is theoretically possible to measure the EOG potentials by the proposed method.
