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

objectiveTo determine the outcome of cardiac arrest in pediatric intensive care unit in relation to event variables.

methodsThe study included children with cardiac arrest who required resuscitation in pediatric intensive care unit over 1 y period. Two outcome variables were measured. The first was success [return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)] and the second was survival to discharge from pediatric intensive care unit.

resultsOut of 700 admissions, 172 (24.6 %) patients developed cardiac arrest that required resuscitation. Return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 78 cases (45.3 %), 25 patients (14.5 %) survived to discharge and 94 patients (54.7 %) did not respond to resuscitations. Success and survival rates were significantly higher in cases resuscitated for ≤ 20 min than in cases resuscitated for > 20 min (100 % and 33.3 % vs. 32.4 % and 10.1 % respectively). Success and survival rates were better in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation than those not (48.1 % and 17.8 % vs. 37.2 % and 4.7 % respectively). Defibrillation was successful in 10 cases (25 %) and survival was in 1 case (0.5 %) and out of survivors, 80 % had good neurological outcome.

conclusionsThe frequency of inhospital cardiac arrest was 24.6 % where 45.3 % of them achieved successful resuscitation. The duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (<20 min) and mechanical ventilation were an indicator for better success and survival rates.
