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

Progressive neurodegenerative diseases are often associated with motor symptoms, among which tremor is one of the most debilitating manifestations, significantly compromising daily activities and quality of life. Continuous, non-invasive monitoring of tremor characteristics helps to assess disease progression and optimize treatment strategies. For this reason, wearable measurement systems can provide an objective and non-invasive means for the quantitative characterization and monitoring of tremor-related movements. This study addresses the development of a compact, low-power wearable board for real-time tremor monitoring based on the Nicla Sense ME embedded system. The proposed device performs on-board processing to extract spectral features of movement and wirelessly sends them via Bluetooth Low Energy to a remote host, enabling on-demand visualization or storage of tremor data. The measurement system was technically validated through a comparative experimental protocol based on the simultaneous acquisition of tremor signals using the proposed device and a commercial Shimmer3 IMU as the reference system. The comparison considered both the similarity of the measured spectrograms and the agreement in dominant-frequency estimation. Spectrogram correlation coefficients reached 0.85, with amplitude MAE and RMSE values as low as 0.07 m/s
