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

backgroundDemographic, social, economic and geographic factors are associated with increased short-term mortality after cardiac arrest. We sought to determine if these factors are additionally associated with long-term outcome differences using a detailed clinical database linked to state-wide administrative data.

methodsWe included cardiac arrest patients surviving to hospital discharge from five hospitals in the United States from 2005 to 2013, with follow-up through 2015. We obtained information on sex, race, arrest location, initial rhythm, median ZIP code income, post-arrest illness severity, cardiac catheterization, internal cardioverter-defibrillator insertion, rural residence and drive time from residence to the nearest acute care hospital. We used Cox proportional hazard models identify predictors of mortality.

resultsWe included 891 patients followed for 2081 patient-years. There were 340 deaths with median survival 6 years. In adjusted models we identified an interaction effect between median ZIP code income and cardiac catheterization. Among patients who had cardiac catheterization there was an attenuated benefit from cardiac catheterization at progressively lower neighborhood incomes (adjusted HR: 0.21 to 0.46 to 0.56). Residence more than 20 min from the nearest acute care hospital was associated with increased hazard of death (adjusted HR: 1.48; 95%CI: 1.35-1.62), after controlling for rural residence and residence in a Medically Underserved Area/Population. Female patients showed less benefit following ICD placement (male adjusted HR: 0.49; female adjusted HR: 0.66).

conclusionsThere are persistent long-term outcome differences in cardiac arrest survival based on sex, income, and geographic access acute care.
