Increased QT Dispersion Is Linked to Worse Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background The incidence and mortality of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high, but predicting outcomes is challenging. Being able to better assess prognosis of hospitalized patients after return of spontaneous circulation would enable improved management of survival expectations. In this study, we assessed the predictive value of ECG indexes in hospitalized patients with OHCA. Methods and Results PR interval and QT interval corrected by the Bazett formula (QTc) for all leads were calculated from standard 12-lead ECGs 24 hours after return of spontaneous circulation in 93 patients who were hospitalized following OHCA. PR interval and QT and QTc duration did not differentiate OHCA survivors and nonsurvivors. However, QT and QTc dispersion was significantly increased in patients who died during hospitalization compared with survivors discharged from the hospital (
