Organ donation after resuscitation from cardiac arrest.
Article in Resuscitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07002294 (The Effect of SPecialty cAre on Recovery From Cardiac Arrest Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
backgroundWe compared the characteristics and outcomes of post-arrest donors to those of other donors, described the proportion of post-arrest decedents who donated, and compared their characteristics to post-arrest decedents who did not donate.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study including patients who died at a single academic medical center from January 1, 2010 to February 28, 2019. We linked our registry of consecutive post-arrest patients to donation-related data from the Center for Organ Procurement and Recovery (CORE). We used data from CORE to identify donor eligibility, first person designation, family approaches to seek consent for donation, and approach outcomes. We determined number of organs procured and number transplanted, stratified by donor type (brain death donors (BDD) vs donors after circulatory determination of death (DCD)).
resultsThere were 12,130 decedents; 1525 (13%) were resuscitated from cardiac arrest. CORE staff approached families of 836 (260 (31%) post-arrest, 576 (69%) not post-arrest) to request donation. Post-arrest patients and families were more likely to authorize donation (172/260 (66%) vs 331/576 (57%), P = 0.02), and more likely to be DCDs (50/146 (34%) vs 55/289 (19%), P < 0.001). Overall, 4.1 ± 1.5 organs were procured and 2.9 ± 1.9 transplanted per BDD, which did not differ by post-arrest status, 3.2 ± 1.2 organs were procured and 1.8 ± 1.1 transplanted per DCD. Number of organs transplanted per DCD did not differ by post-arrest status. Unfavorable arrest characteristics were more common among post-arrest organ donors compared to non-donors.
conclusionPatients resuscitated from cardiac arrest with irrecoverable brain injury have excellent potential to become organ donors.
