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
Introduction: The pulse wave analysis technology in the specialist SphygmoCor XCEL device has now been implemented in the CONNEQT Pulse device, which is a conventional sphygmomanometer suitable for home blood pressure (BP) monitoring. The aim of this study was to compare the correlation and consistency of measurements between the two devices. Methods: The study was conducted in participants admitted to the Department of Geriatrics, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Brachial BP (bBP), central BP (cBP), augmentation pressure (AP), augmentation index (AIx), and subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR) were measured with the CONNEQT Pulse and the SphygmoCor XCEL devices, both using a calibrated cuff-based brachial waveform. Results: A total of 367 eligible subjects, aged 23-92 (57.6 ± 13.0) years, of whom 254 (69.2%) were male, was enrolled in this study. Paired Conclusion: Both devices show strong cBP-bBP correlations and low bias, suggesting that the new CONNEQT Pulse provides similar measurements of cBP to the original SphygmoCor XCEL. Although there is greater variability in waveform parameters, the magnitude of differences is within acceptable limits for meaningful use in conventional home BP monitoring. The relatively elevated variability in measurement precision (standard deviation), most likely due to sequential measurements with both devices in the same arm, needs to be further evaluated using simultaneous measurements in both arms.
