Impact of type of emergency department on the outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimTo assess whether the outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) differ between patients treated at tertiary or secondary emergency medical facilities.
methodsData from the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (JAAM-OHCA) registry between June 2014 and December 2015 were analyzed and compared between patients treated at tertiary (tertiary group) and secondary (secondary group) emergency medical facilities. The primary outcome of this study was a favorable neurological outcome at 1 and 3 months after OHCA, defined as a Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance category of 1 or 2.
resultsBetween June 2014 and December 2015, a total of 13,491 patients with OHCA were registered in the JAAM-OHCA registry. Of these, 12,836 were eligible in the present analysis, with 11,583 in the tertiary group and 1,253 in the secondary group. The proportions of patients with favorable neurological outcomes in the tertiary group were significantly higher than those in the secondary group at 1 (4.7% versus 2.0%,
conclusionThe neurological outcomes of patients with OHCA treated at tertiary emergency medical facilities were better than those of patients treated at secondary emergency medical facilities.
