Cardiothoracic injuries after CardioPump CPR: a report of two cases and review of the literature.
Review in International journal of legal medicine, 2018. 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
Although many clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy during active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACD-CPR), the Ambu® CardioPump seems likely to cause severe and sometimes lethal injuries. In this paper, we report two cases observed at the Institute of Legal Medicine of Nancy, France. A 67-year-old man collapsed in the street, in the presence of witnesses, and without any sign of trauma. The autopsy revealed a flail chest, a wound of the left ventricle, a rupture of the right ventricle, and a wrenching of the inferior vena cava. A 71-year-old woman was found in her apartment during an accidental fire. The autopsy revealed a sternal fracture, many rib fractures, and a perforation of the superior vena cava, the pericardium, and the heart. Despite articles focusing on complications of the use of the CardioPump in the late 1990s, this technique is still used in practice. These two cases emphasize that iatrogenic injuries must be taken into account in the CardioPump benefit/risk balance and the relevance of its daily use.
