End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring may be associated with a higher possibility of return of spontaneous circulation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a population-based study.

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.
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
backgroundDuring cardiac arrest, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring is recommended as a chest compression performance indicator. However, its frequency of use during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and its benefits have never been evaluated in real clinical situations.
objectiveWe investigated OHCA patients in Taiwan to evaluate the frequency of ETCO2 monitoring and its effects on sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
methodsWe sampled the Taiwan National Health Insurance claims database, which contains 1 million beneficiaries. All adult beneficiaries older than 18 years who presented with OHCA and received chest compression between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2012 were enrolled. We further identified patients with ETCO2 monitoring and matched each 1 with 20 patients who did not receive ETCO2 monitoring based on their propensity scores. A simple conditional logistic regression model was applied to compare the odds ratio (OR) for sustained ROSC in the matched cohorts.
resultsA total of 5041 OHCA patients were enrolled. The frequency of ETCO2 monitoring has increased since 2010 but still is low. After matching, 53 patients with ETCO2 monitoring and 1060 without ETCO2 monitoring were selected. The OR of sustained ROSC in the ETCO2 group was significantly increased (2.38, 95 % CI 1.28-4.42).
conclusionPatients who received ETCO2 monitoring during OHCA had a higher possibility of sustained ROSC, but the overall use of ETCO2 monitoring is still low despite strong recommendations for its use.
