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
Purpose: This prospective observational clinical study investigated discrepancy between noninvasive continuous haemoglobin (SpHb, Masimo Corp., Irvine, CA) measurements with sensors placed on three fingertips during elective cardiac surgery. Materials and methods: The study included 12 adult patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Three identical versions of SpHb sensors were placed on the fingers of the same hand and connected to dedicated Masimo Radical-7 monitors. Data were continuously recorded throughout the surgery. Multiple group comparison tests-Kruskal-Wallis and Alexander-Govern tests-were used to compare three sets of SpHb data (trends). Bland-Altman and Giavarina plots were used to compare the SpHb data with invasive arterial haemoglobin (Lab-Hb) data obtained at clinically relevant time points chosen at the discretion of the cardiac anaesthesiologist, who was blinded to the study protocol. Results: There was a good correlation between the time-matched SpHb data from the three sensors at 253 time points (r = 0.86-0.95), but there was a significant difference between the SpHb values obtained from each sensor and the average SpHb value of all 3 sensors (p < 0.05) at each time point. The absolute difference between the SpHb value obtained from each sensor and the average SpHb value was 0.69 g/dl g/dl (SD 1.49 g/dl). The accuracy and precision of the average SpHb for estimating Lab-Hb was higher compared to the SpHb values obtained from two out of three individual sensors (sn1 and sn3) and very similar compared to values obtained from sensor sn2. Conclusion: The sensor placement site can impact the SpHb measurement causing discrepancy between SpHb measured in different fingers. The average SpHb from three fingertips appears to be more accurate and precise in estimating Lab-Hb. However, more advanced sensors are needed.
