Spurious Fingertip Oxygen Desaturation During the 6-Minute Walk Test in a Patient With NSIP and Raynaud Phenomenon: The Value of Forehead Pulse Oximetry and Transcutaneous Oxygen Tension.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Reduced digital perfusion associated with Raynaud phenomenon may cause spuriously low fingertip pulse oximetry readings during the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), potentially leading to overestimation of exercise-induced hypoxaemia in patients with interstitial lung disease. We report a 39-year-old woman with non-specific interstitial pneumonia and Raynaud phenomenon who underwent repeated 6MWTs. Fingertip SpO
