i think that what fretmeister is showing with the 13411x is finger positions - which fingers go on which strings. 1 means index, 3 is ring, 4 pinky.

Therefore, your first finger barres the 2 fret, the ring mutes the A string and the pinky frets the fourth fret.

The diagram below it shows how the fretboard will look with your fingers on it.
