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

objectiveTo explore an economical, convenient, safe and efficient method for establishing a Tibetan miniature pig model of cardiac arrest (CA).

methodsCardiac puncture was performed in 12 Tibetan miniature pigs using two acupuncture needles. One needle was inserted into the fourth intercostal near the right side of the sternum about 3 cm in depth at an angle of 30° to 60° between the chest and the needle, and the depth was adjusted until the handle of the needle vibrated with the heartbeat without premature ventricular contraction on the electrocardiogram; the other was inserted into the subcutaneous tissue of the left armpit about 3 cm in depth without damaging important organs. The handles of the two needles were connected with 9V dry batteries to form a circuit and generate direct current stimulation. Ventricular fibrillation was produced in the pigs to induce CA by stimulation of transcutaneous electrical induction (TCEI) for 3 s, and the success rate of modeling was recorded. After an interval of 4 min without intervention, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed using the standard Utstein style, and the survival of the pigs after recovery was observed.

resultsThe success rate of ventricular fibrillation modeling was 91.67% (11/12) using this method, and CPR achieved a success rate of 45.45% (5/11) in these models. The subsequent survival of the pigs was 100% (5/5) at 24 h and 80% (4/5) at 72 h. After observation for 72 h, the resuscitated Tibetan miniature pigs were dissected, and no significant damage was found in the vital organs in the thoracic or abdominal cavities.

conclusionsWe successfully established a model of CA using acupuncture needles and dry batteries in Tibetan miniature pigs, and this method is economical, convenient, safe and efficient.
