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
purposeBio-impedance analysis (BIA) has been widely investigated for hemodynamic monitoring. However, previous works rarely modelled two synchronously pulsatile arteries (representing the radial and ulnar arteries) in the wrist/forearm model. This work aims to clarify and quantify the influences of two pulsatile arteries on BIA.
methodsFirst, two blood-filled arteries were structured in a 3D wrist segment using the finite element method (FEM). Afterwards, an easy-to-produce two-arteries artificial wrist was fabricated with two components: gelatine-based surrounding tissue phantom and saline blood phantom. A syringe driver was utilised to constrict the arteries, and the impedance signals were measured using a Multi-frequency Impedance Analyser (MFIA).
resultsBoth simulation and experimental results demonstrated the non-negligible influences of the ulnar artery on the overall BIA, inducing unwanted resistance changes to the acquired signals from the radial artery. The phantom experiments revealed the summation of the individual resistance changes caused by a single pulsatile artery was approximately equal to the measured resistance change caused by two synchronously pulsatile arteries, confirming the measured impedance signal at the wrist contains the pulsatile information from both arteries.
conclusionThis work is the first simulation and phantom investigation into two synchronously pulsatile arteries under BIA in the distal forearm, providing a better insight and understanding in the morphology of measured impedance signals. Future research can accordingly select either a small spacing 4-spot electrode configuration for a single artery sensing or a band electrode configuration for overall pulsatile arteries sensing. A more accurate estimation of blood volume change and pulse wave analysis (PWA) could help to develop cuffless blood pressure measurement (BPM).
