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

The Internet of Things (IoT) era witnessed a surge in wearable devices for the human body, each requiring a power source that supports long-term operation. However, batteries are depletable and require replacement, while the effectiveness of energy-harvesting techniques is location specific. We developed the SkinECG system, an orthogonal remote powering skin-like electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor. It is powered by body-coupled powering (BCP) using power acquired optimally via suitable energy harvesters at different locations on the human body, solving the location mismatch between the energy-harvesting source and sensor. The remote Orthogonal Energy Harvesting Network (O-EHN) effectively transfers power from multiple energy-harvesting sources without internode interference and cancellation. We demonstrated the 0.71-mm-thin, flexible SkinECG system that conforms to the human chest and detects ECG signals without any cumbersome batteries or directly connected power for long-term health monitoring.
