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 technology is breaking the confines of skin-surface monitoring, moving towards deep-tissue physiological insights. Within this evolution, wearable ultrasound is emerging as a transformative technology, offering a non-invasive and real-time window into deep physiological dynamics. This review systematically deconstructs the technological framework of a complete wearable ultrasound system. It provides an in-depth analysis of the system's three core components: (1) conformal transducers, examining progress in materials, microfabrication, and the critical trade-off between acoustic performance and mechanical compliance; (2) miniaturized hardware systems, detailing design strategies to resolve the fundamental conflict among processing power, energy efficiency, and form factor; and (3) advanced algorithms, highlighting their role as essential compensatory systems for ensuring data integrity in dynamic environments. Finally, the clinical power of this integrated technology stack is demonstrated through a comprehensive survey of its cardiovascular applications. By systematically analyzing the core technologies and future challenges, this review offers a forward-looking perspective on the evolution of wearable ultrasound, charting its path toward becoming a cornerstone of continuous, personalized health management.
