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

Conductive intracardiac communication (CIC) is one of the most innovative and promising communication technologies in multi-point cardiac pacing schemes that utilize the heart as the transmission channel in recent years. Current research predominantly focuses on static channel characteristics. Although some studies have explored dynamic responses, they are largely confined to basic amplitude-frequency and amplitude-time behaviors, lacking in-depth analysis of underlying dynamic mechanisms such as path loss, shadowing, multipath, and Doppler effects. Designing CIC systems solely on the basis of static properties can result in inaccurate channel estimation, distorted channel state information (CSI), and elevated bit error rate (BER). To solve the problems of dynamic channel measurement and modeling, this paper for the first time proposes a dynamic channel modeling method for CIC based on sinusoidal response and impulse response. Firstly, we develop a physical simulation and miniaturized measurement setup to measure the dynamic cardiac channel, and analyze the amplitude-frequency characteristics and amplitude-time characteristics. The influence of factors such as instrument differences, heart rate, flow rate, and motion artifacts is also discussed. Secondly, we systematically analyze the path loss, shadowing effect, multipath effect, and Doppler effect of the CIC channel. Combined with the dynamic channel characteristics and parameters, we propose a composite fading dynamic channel model and analyze the BER performance of baseband signal transmission and On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation systems. We conclude that (1) the CIC channel exhibits capacitive characteristics. Fixed electrodes can effectively suppress motion artifacts. (2) The dynamic channel gain of CIC varies periodically with the heartbeat, and the fluctuation range of the signal is less than 1-2 dB. (3) The dynamic CIC channel presents extremely weak shadow fading, no significant multipath, and no measurable Doppler characteristics, belonging to an extremely slow-fading channel. This work provides effective dynamic channel measurement approaches and a parameter basis for the transceiver design of CIC and a reliable model for the simulation of CIC systems.
