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

backgroundThe effect of a subsequent treated shockable rhythm during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the outcome of children who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with initial nonshockable rhythm is unclear. We hypothesized that subsequent treated shockable rhythm in children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest would improve survival with favorable neurological outcomes (Cerebral Performance Category scale 1-2). METHODS AND

resultsFrom the All-Japan Utstein Registry, we analyzed the records of 12 402 children (aged <18 years) with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and initial nonshockable rhythms. Patients were divided into 2 cohorts: subsequent treated shockable rhythm (YES; n=239) and subsequent treated shockable rhythm (NO; n=12 163). The rate of 1-month cerebral performance category 1 to 2 in the subsequent treated shockable rhythm (YES) cohort was significantly higher when compared to the subsequent treated shockable rhythm (NO) cohort (4.6% [11 of 239] vs 1.3% [155 of 12 163]; adjusted odds ratio, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.42-5.36; all P<0.001). In the subsequent treated shockable rhythm (YES) cohort, the rate of 1-month cerebral performance category 1 to 2 decreased significantly as time to shock delivery increased (17.7% [3 of 17] for patients with shock-delivery time 0-9 minutes, 7.3% [8 of 109] for 10-19 minutes, and 0% [0 of 109] for 20-59 minutes; P<0.001 [for trend]). Age-stratified outcomes showed no significant differences between the 2 cohorts in the group aged <7 years old: 1.3% versus 1.4%, P=0.62.

conclusionsIn children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and initial nonshockable rhythms, subsequent treated shockable rhythm was associated with improved 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcomes. In the cohort of older children (7-17 years), these outcomes worsened as time to shock delivery increased.
