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

Pittl U, Schratter A, Desch S et al. Invasive versus non-invasive cooling after in- and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a randomized trial. Clin. Res. Cardiol. 102(8), 607-614 (2013). Therapeutic hypothermia is the cornerstone of the postcardiac arrest period management. Several methods may be used as external or internal cooling. Pittl et al. reported a randomized, prospective, single-center study evaluating an invasive (Coolgard(®)) versus a non-invasive (Arctic Sun(®)) cooling method after cardiac arrest in 80 patients in Germany. The neurological outcome and neuron-specific enolase level were not different in the two groups at 72 h after cardiac arrest. The efficacy of the two cooling methods were similar. This study underlines the fact that the type of cooling method is not the most important thing to consider in therapeutic hypothermia, but the need of a progressive and soft rewarming may make the difference in the future between different devices.
