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

Wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) technologies have emerged as promising tools for continuous cardiac monitoring during physical activity. However, evidence regarding the accuracy of single-lead wearable ECG systems under dynamic exercise conditions remains limited. We evaluated the performance of a wearable chest-band ECG device by comparing simultaneous recordings with a conventional multi-lead exercise ECG system during rest and graded cycle ergometer exercise in healthy volunteers. Agreement was assessed using RR interval measurements, heart-rate metrics, and complementary agreement analyses, including participant-level correlation and Bland-Altman evaluation.
