Fig. 2

Forest plot for cardiac output. Forest plot showing the results of the meta-analysis for cardiac output (CO) with mean of the differences (dots) calculated as the mean of continuous pulmonary artery thermodilution-derived CO measurements minus intermittent pulmonary artery thermodilution-derived CO measurements and corresponding 95%-confidence interval (bars) per individual study in relation to the overall random effects model-derived pooled estimate (vertical dashed line). Heterogeneity is presented with Cochran’s Q and I2. N, number of patients per study. Böttiger and colleagues [26], Costa and colleagues [36], Greim and colleagues [41], Neto and colleagues [60], Rödig and colleagues [65], and Zöllner and colleagues [72] are treated as two studies in the analysis (A and B). Schmid and colleagues [67] is treated as four studies in the analysis (A, B, C, and D)
