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

Separating sensed signals is a crucial task for many wearable systems, where the acquired data contains a mixture of a target signal of interest and several interfering signals, arising from quasi-periodic physiological phenomena such as cardiac and respiratory activity with slowly varying frequency and amplitude. In practice, the task of separating the signals is challenged by quality and quantity of available physiological data. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel signal separation technique that can effectively isolate the target signal from a sensed mixed signal, using only a single trace of data. We leverage application-specific attributes of the problem, and approach signal separation as an instance of spectrogram in-painting with a custom-designed generative neural network model. The efficacy of the method is demonstrated in the context of transabdominal fetal pulse oximetry application, using both synthesized and
