Critical analysis of the relationship between arterial saturation and the ratio-of-ratios used in pulse oximetry.
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Significance: Pulse oximetry is a well-established technique for the assessment of arterial oxygen Saturation ( Aim: We aim to derive and discuss the quantitative relationship between Approach: The source of the pulsatile optical signal is the systolic and diastolic pulsation of the arterial compartment within the probed tissue. From a diffuse optics point of view, this is associated with an absorption change in the region that arterial blood expands into and a mean partial optical path length through that expanded arterial volume. This observation is the basis for a modified Beer-Lambert law analysis of the relationship between Results: The equation that relates Conclusion: The analysis reported here clarifies the source of the calibration equations used in pulse oximetry and provides guidance to assess the impact of various key optical parameters on the accuracy of pulse oximetry.
