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

purposeDespite a lack of randomized trials in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with an initial non-shockable rhythm (NSR), guidelines recommend induced hypothermia to be considered in these patients. We assessed the effect on outcome of two levels of induced hypothermia in comatose patient resuscitated from NSR.

methodsHundred and seventy-eight patients out of 950 in the TTM trial with an initial NSR were randomly assigned to targeted temperature management at either 33°C (TTM33, n=96) or 36°C (TTM36, n=82). We assessed mortality, neurologic function (Cerebral Performance Score (CPC) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS)), and organ dysfunction (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score).

resultsPatients with NSR were older, had longer time to ROSC, less frequently had bystander CPR and had higher lactate levels at admission compared to patients with shockable rhythm, p<0.001 for all. Mortality in patients with NSR was 84% in both temperature groups (unadjusted HR 0.92, adjusted HR 0.75; 95% CI 0.53-1.08, p=0.12). In the TTM33 group 3% survived with poor neurological outcome (CPC 3-4, mRS 4-5), compared to 2% in the TTM36 group (adjusted OR 0.67; 95% CI 0.08-4.73, p=0.69 for both). Thirteen percent in the TTM33 group and 15% in the TTM36 group had good neurologic outcome (CPC 1-2, mRS 0-3, OR 1.5, CI 0.21-12.5, p=0.69). The SOFA-score did not differ between temperature groups.

conclusionComatose patients after OHCA with initial NSR continue to have a poor prognosis. We found no effect of targeted temperature management at 33°C compared to 36°C in these patients.
