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: Continuous, real-time monitoring of myocardial oxygenation during cardiac surgery holds potential for enhancing patient safety and improving outcomes. This study evaluated the precision of the near-infrared spectroscopy-based SpectroCor Ltd monitoring device, which measures myocardial hemoglobin/myoglobin (Hb/Mb) oxygen saturation and cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) oxidation ratio. Description: Yorkshire pigs, under general anesthesia, were subjected to cardiopulmonary bypass to generate graded myocardial desaturation. Graded desaturation at aortic root was induced by mixing oxygenated blood from partly pumping cardiopulmonary bypass with deoxygenated blood passing nonventilated lungs. SpectroCor myocardial oximetry was validated against blood samples drawn simultaneously from the aortic root and coronary sinus during various stable saturation intervals. Evaluation: With accuracy of 5.3 percentage points, the SpectroCor device's myocardial Hb/Mb oxygen saturation readings tightly correlated with reference blood samples. Concurrent changes in CcO oxidation ratio closely mirrored Hb/Mb saturation, indicating reliable assessment of mitochondrial function. Conclusions: The SpectroCor monitoring device provides accurate, real-time measurements of myocardial oxygenation, supporting its potential to help optimize cardioprotective strategies during cardiac surgery.
