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

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the major problems in the western world with approximately 70.000-100.000 SCD patients (pts) in Germany and 450.000 SCD victims in the US. SCD is not caused by a single factor but is a multifactorial problem. SCD is caused by ventricular tachyarrhythmias in approximately 90% of pts, whereas SCD is caused by bradyarrhythmias in 5-10%. In 50% of SCD victims, sudden cardiac death is the first manifestation of a heart disease. There is general agreement that early defibrillation with automated external defibrillators (AED) is an effective tool to treat pts with ventricular fibrillation. Nevertheless, further stragies on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED therapy are necessary to improve survival of patients with cardiac arrest.
