Outcomes and Utilization of Therapeutic Hypothermia in Post-Cardiac Arrest Patients in Teaching Versus Non-Teaching Hospitals: Retrospective Study of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database (2016).
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 Using therapeutic hypothermia (TH) reduces the core body temperature of survivors of cardiac arrest to minimize the neurological damage caused by severe hypoxia. The TH protocol is initiated following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in non-responsive patients. Clinical trials examining this technique have shown significant improvement in neurological function among survivors of cardiac arrests. Though there is strong evidence to support TH use to improve the neurologic outcomes in shockable and nonshockable rhythms, predictors of TH utilization are not well-characterized. Our study tried to evaluate TH utilization, as well as the effect of the teaching status of hospitals, on outcomes, including mortality, length of stay, and total hospitalization charges. Method We conducted a retrospective analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project - Nationwide Inpatient Sample (HCUP-NIS) database. Patients with an admitting diagnosis of cardiac arrest, as identified by the corresponding International Classification of Disease, 10
