Non-Intrusive Monitoring of Vital Signs in the Lower Limbs Using Optical Sensors.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Invisible health monitoring is currently a topic of global interest within the scientific community. Sensorization of everyday objects can provide valuable health information without requiring any changes in people's routines. In this work, a feasibility study of photoplethysmography (PPG) acquisition in the lower limbs for continuous and real-time monitoring of the vital signs, including heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR), is presented. The proposed system uses two MAX30102 sensors to obtain PPG signals from the back of the thigh. As proof of concept, tests were conducted in 17 volunteers (age group between 22 and 40 years old, twelve females and five males), and the results were compared to those of reference sensors. A Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.92 and r = 0.77 and a mean difference of 1.2 bpm and 0.9 rpm for HR and RR, respectively, were obtained between the developed system and reference. System accuracies of 95.9% for HR and 91.3% for RR were achieved, showing the system viability for vital sign monitoring of the lower limbs.
