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

Hypertension constitutes a significant risk factor for the development of many coronary artery diseases. In recent years, the advancement of technology and artificial intelligence has led to significant research and breakthroughs in wearable devices that can monitor blood pressure (BP). These devices offer continuous, real-time BP readings, facilitating the early detection and prevention of hypertension. Detailed research was conducted via the PubMed and Scopus databases, using the following keywords: Wearable devices AND Hypertension AND Monitoring. The research was made in the articles from 2017 and subsequently. The aim of the present review is to highlight the benefits of advanced wearable devices, such as smartwatches equipped with BP tracking, inflatable cuffs, finger and wrist monitors, as well as patch and skin-compatible sensors, which provide individuals with the possibility of detecting BP at any time, while also preventing hypertension disease. Finally, wearable devices develop a telehealth connection between patient and physician. However, they ought to be adhered to by particular protocols that attest to their accuracy.
