Assessment of ventricular wall motion with focused echocardiography during cardiac arrest to predict survival.
Article in Turkish journal of emergency medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectivesOur primary goal is to investigate the hypothesis that in patients with a detectable ventricular wall motion (VWM) in cardiac ultrasonography (US) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), survival rate is significantly more than in patients without VWM in US. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn our prospective, single center study, 129 adult cardiac arrest (CA) patients were enrolled. Cardiac US according to Focus Assessed Transthoracic Echo (FATE) protocol was performed before CPR. Presence of VWM was recorded on forms along with demographic data, initial rhythm, CA location, presence of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and time until ROSC was obtained.
results129 patients were included. ROSC was obtained in 56/77 (72.7%) patients with VWM and 3/52 (5.8%) patients without VWM which is statistically significant (p > 0.001). Presence of VWM is 95% (95% CI: 0.95-0.99) sensitive and 70% (95% CI: 0.58-0.80) specific for ROSC. 43/77 (55.8%) patients with VWM and 1 (1.9%) of 52 patients without VWM survived to hospital admission which was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Presence of VWM was 100% (95% CI: 0.87-1.00) sensitive and 54% (95% CI: 0.43-0.64) specific for survival to hospital admission.
conclusionNo patient without VWM in US survived to hospital discharge. Only 3 had ROSC in emergency department and only 1 survived to hospital admission. This data suggests no patient without VWM before the onset of CPR survived to hospital discharge and this may be an indication to end resuscitative efforts early in these patients.
