Impact of Skin Pigmentation on Cerebral Regional Saturation of Oxygen Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: A Systematic Review.
Review in Critical care explorations, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 7 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
objectivesNear-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used in critical care settings to measure regional cerebral tissue oxygenation (rSo DATA SOURCES: We systematically searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Embase, and Google Scholar from inception to July 1, 2023. STUDY SELECTION: In compliance with our PROSPERO registration (CRD42022347548), we selected articles comparing rSo DATA EXTRACTION: We extracted data on self-reported race or level of skin pigmentation and mean rSo DATA SYNTHESIS: Of the 11,495 unique records screened, two studies (
conclusionsSkin pigmentation likely results in attenuated rSo
