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

backgroundLittle is known of how cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) decisions are made in Irish long-term care settings.

aimTo examine how CPR decisions are made in Irish long-stay units and those factors associated with use or non-use of CPR.

methodsWe surveyed each public long-stay unit and a random sample of private nursing homes across the country.

resultsOf the 84 long-stay units that responded (response rate 58%), basic CPR had been performed in 32% and advanced CPR (including defibrillation) in 10%. Only 13% of the units had a written CPR policy. Units performing CPR (N = 35) were closer to an acute hospital, more likely to have short-term residents and more likely to have a CPR policy (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between public and private units.

conclusionThe widely disparate approaches to CPR in different Irish long-stay units suggest the need for national guidelines on this issue.
