Influence of Physical Activity of the Rescuer on Chest Compression Duration and its Effects on Hemodynamics and Fatigue Levels of the Rescuer: A Simulation-based Study.

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
backgroundCardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving skill performed during the cardiac arrest. Various factors of rescuer affect CPR quality, and rescuers physical fitness is one among the important factors needs to be explored for improved CPR quality. This study aimed to assess the physical activity (PA) levels of the health care providers (HCPs) who were trained in basic life support (BLS) and its relationship on chest compression duration, hemodynamic parameters, and fatigue levels of the rescuers. MATERIALS AND
methodsA single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted on 48 HCPs who were trained in BLS within one year. Eligible participants were contacted by email, and the responders' level of PA was determined using the global physical activity questionnaire (GPAQ). The participants were recruited for chest compression-only cardiac arrest scenarios. Each subject performed continuous chest compression on the manikin until they perceived maximum fatigue. Heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), oxygen saturation (SpO
resultsMost participants (24, 50%) reported high levels of PA while 22 (45.83%) and 2 (4.17%) reported moderate and low intensity of PA, respectively. The mean age of the 35 participants was 26.08 ± 4.60 years. The mean duration of chest compressions was 193.25 seconds with higher times reported for those with high PA when compared to those with moderate PA (
conclusionRescuers who reported high PA had lower levels of fatigue and could perform longer duration of chest compressions.
