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

introductionOut of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide. The Emergency Medical Service (EMS) provides early care to critical OHCA patients. Pre hospital intervention has been improving OHCA survival rate, however it is still unclear for the recommendation of routine infusion of Intravenous (IV) fluids during cardiac arrest resuscitation.

aimThis study aimed to determine whether IV fluid administration was associated with increasing survival of resuscitated OHCA patients and to assess the survival rate of resuscitated OHCA patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 33,006 resuscitated OHCA patients who received emergency medical service in Thailand. Data set from the EMS Registry of the OHCA patients who received Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) during January 2011 to December 2015 was enrolled as per inclusion criteria. Data were analysed by using both descriptive statistic and multiple logistic regression.

resultsThe result indicated that 27,270 OHCA patients (82.62%:95%CI=82.121-83.030%) survived until they reached hospital. In addition, after adjusting for effect modifiers and covariates, it was found that adult (≥18 years) with IV fluid administration were more likely to survive (adjusted OR=4.389; 95% CI: 3.911-4.744) when compared to children (<18 years) with IV fluid administration (adjusted OR =2.952; 95% CI: 2.040-4.273). Other factors associated with OHCA patients' survival were female gender (adjusted OR =1.151; 95% CI: 1.067-1.241), response time per minutes (adjusted OR =0.993; 95% CI: 0.989-0.997), scene time per minutes (adjusted OR=0.948; 95% CI: 0.944-0.952) and transport time per minutes (adjusted OR=0.973, 95%CI: 0.968-0.978).

conclusionThis study revealed that IV fluid administration was significantly associated with survival of OHCA patients while controlled other covariates including female gender, response time, scene time and transport time. Therefore, it is recommended that the IV fluid administration should be medicated for resuscitated OHCA patients.
