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

Drop-on-demand inkjet printing has shown great potential for wearable health monitoring applications because of its ability to directly pattern on flexible substrates that can conform to curved surfaces such as the skin. Surface biopotential measurements such as electrocardiography is one such example requiring conductive electrodes that can be attached to skin to record the electrical activity of the heart, otherwise known as an electrocardiogram (ECG). Typical pre-gelled, silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes; also known as "wet electrodes", are known to cause skin irritations with performance degradation over time, and therefore remain largely non-ideal especially in long-term, mobile heath monitoring scenarios. This paper reports, for the first time, the development of a single, fully inkjet-printed graphene-on-plastic monolithic wearable armband, whose performance was benchmarked against commercial Ag/AgCl electrodes during a 1-hour-long ECG recording with five participants. The inkjet-printed graphene-on-plastic armband displayed excellent ECG reception with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of up to 4.2 dB higher than that of commercial electrodes.
