Pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Time to goal target temperature and outcomes.
Trial report in Resuscitation, 2019. 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
aimAlthough recent out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) trials found no benefits of hypothermia versus normothermia targeted temperature management, preclinical models suggest earlier timing of hypothermia improves neuroprotective efficacy. This study investigated whether shorter time to goal temperature was associated with better one-year outcomes in the Therapeutic Hypothermia After Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Out-of-Hospital Trial.
methodsPatients were classified by tertiles of time to attain assigned goal temperature range (32-34°C or 36-37.5°C) following ROSC. Outcomes in the first tertile ("earlier") Group 1 were compared with second and third tertiles ("later") Group 2. Separate analyses were, additionally, completed for hypothermia and normothermia intervention groups. Three one-year outcomes were examined: survival; Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS-II) score≥70; and decrease in VABS-II≤15 points from baseline.
resultsIn the entire cohort (n=281), median time from ROSC to goal temperature was 7.4 [IQR 6.2-9.7] hours: Group 1, 5.8 [IQR 5.2, 6.2] and Group 2, 8.8 [IQR 7.4, 10.4] h. Outcomes did not differ between these groups. For hypothermia subgroup, survival was lower in Group 1 than 2, [10/49(20%) versus 47/99(47%), p<0.002], with a trend toward fewer with VABS-II scores≥70 and change in VABS-II≤15 points (p=0.07-0.08). For normothermia subgroup, there was a trend toward higher survival in Group 1 than 2 [18/42(43%) versus 21/83(25%), p=0.065], but no differences in VABS-II-related measures. In multivariable logistic regression models, no difference in earlier and later groups or temperature intervention was observed.
conclusionWe found no evidence that earlier time to goal temperature was associated with better outcomes.
