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
backgroundContinuous cardiac output (CCO) monitoring using pulmonary artery (PA) thermodilution and newly introduced beat-to-beat cardiac output (CO) monitoring technologies exhibits different response time delays. These differences can hinder accurate comparisons of their trending abilities. To address this, we applied moving average processing to the beat-to-beat CO monitor data to evaluate its effect on trending assessment accuracy. This study aimed to confirm the effectiveness of moving average processing for such comparisons.
resultsThis was a single-center, retrospective, observational study conducted at a 916-bed university hospital. A total of 20 patients undergoing kidney transplantation were included. We analyzed the trending ability of arterial pressure cardiac index (APCI) and estimated continuous cardiac index (esCCI) relative to continuous cardiac index (CCI) derived from PA thermodilution. Trending ability was assessed using a Polar plot and Bland-Altman analyses. A wide range of moving average windows (0–60 min) was applied to APCI and esCCI. The polar concordance rate at 30° exceeded 92% for moving average windows between 20 and 30 min, with APCI peaking between 21 and 27 min. These improvements reflected both time-shifting and filtering effects of the moving average process.
conclusionsMoving average processing over 20 to 30 min significantly enhanced concordance between esCCI and reference CCI, with APCI demonstrating similarly high concordance in the same time window. This approach effectively compensates for differences in response time delays between CO monitoring modalities, enabling more accurate assessment of trending ability.
