1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), mild therapeutic hypothermia remains the only intervention with a fair evidence of improving outcomes. Randomized controlled trials reported a clinically important benefit, at least for selected victims of cardiac arrest. Therapeutic cooling was associated with higher rates of survival without severe neurological impairment, by 15 absolute percent as compared to controls. Among those delivering acute and intensive care, three of four remain sceptical or do not use therapeutic hypothermia. Is this reluctance justified?
