Cardiorespiratory arrest in children (out of hospital).
Article in BMJ clinical evidence, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionCardiorespiratory arrest outside hospital occurs in approximately 1/10,000 children per year in resource-rich countries, with two-thirds of arrests occurring in children under 18 months of age. Approximately 45% of cases have undetermined causes, including sudden infant death syndrome. Of the rest, 20% are caused by trauma, 10% by chronic disease, and 6% by pneumonia. METHODS AND OUTCOMES: We conducted a systematic overview, aiming to answer the following clinical question: What are the effects of treatments for non-submersion out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest in children? We searched: Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and other important databases up to November 2014 (Clinical Evidence overviews are updated periodically; please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this overview).
resultsAt this update, searching of electronic databases retrieved 192 studies. After deduplication and removal of conference abstracts, 81 records were screened for inclusion in the overview. Appraisal of titles and abstracts led to the exclusion of 68 studies and the further review of 13 full publications. Of the 13 full articles evaluated, three systematic reviews were added at this update. We have also added eight studies to the Comment section. We performed a GRADE evaluation for three PICO combinations.
conclusionsIn this systematic overview, we categorised the efficacy for nine interventions based on information about the effectiveness and safety of airway management and ventilation (bag-mask ventilation and intubation), bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, direct-current cardiac shock, high dose and standard dose intravenous adrenaline (epinephrine), intravenous sodium bicarbonate, intubation versus bag-mask ventilation, targeted temperature management, and training parents to perform resuscitation.
