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

In previous work, we introduced an 'invisible' ECG system with electrodes integrated into a toilet seat, capturing signals from the thighs. Here, we present the tOLIet dataset with single-lead thigh ECGs to advance cardiovascular assessment using this novel approach. The dataset includes 149 records from 86 individuals (50 females, 36 males; mean age 31.73 ± 13.11 years; weight 66.89 ± 10.70 kg; height 166.82 ± 6.07 cm). Participants were recruited via the Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Lisboa Central (CHULC). Each recording features four differential signals from toilet-seat electrodes alongside reference data from a hospital-grade 12-lead ECG. Beyond signal collection and quality evaluation, we conducted a gender-specific analysis comparing valid signal percentages relative to Body Mass Index (BMI). This analysis explores anatomical or physiological factors affecting thigh-based ECG acquisition, guiding system design and customization to enhance signal reliability across populations.
