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

Blood pressure (BP) assessment is one of the essential vital signs in the clinical field because of its significant relation with various chronic diseases. For effective continuous BP monitoring at home, the system should be portable, user-friendly, and comfortable for the patient, ensuring convenience during continuous data collection. Here, a wearable neckband-type earphone for continuous monitoring of cardiovascular symptoms and BP in a non-invasive and wireless manner via a Self-powered Box Knot Pulsewave sensor (SBKP) has been reported. The multi-stacked architecture of the SBKP, inspired by the knotting craft, holds a sensitivity and resolution of 38.17 mV Pa
