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 glucose monitoring demands low-power local processing, but conventional neural networks rely on energy-intensive multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations that limit battery life. This study shows that a Spiking Neural Network (SNN), built on a regression-adapted Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) neuron, can estimate blood glucose from multi-frequency bioimpedance and auxiliary biosignals with clinically auditable accuracy at low computational and memory cost. Using data from 98 patients (717 measurements, eGluco3 device, Azambuja Hospital, Brusque, Brazil) evaluated by 5-fold walk-forward cross-validation under ISO 15197:2013, three main findings emerge. First, a new calibration method-the Patient Fingerprint, built from each patient's first K sensor readings-outperforms conventional one-hot patient encoding (14.2 ± 2.6 mg/dL vs. 15.4 ± 3.3 mg/dL mean absolute error) and, unlike one-hot, requires only these
