Patient outcomes of school-age, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Japan: A nationwide study of schoolchildren as witnesses.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery. 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
aimUsing the data from the All-Japan Utstein Registry, this study evaluates the neurologically favourable patient outcomes and associated factors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with Japanese schoolchildren as witnesses.
methodsWe analysed 1,068 school-age children (6-18 years old) who underwent OHCA from 2011 to 2016. Among the 1,068 cases, 179 were witnessed by schoolchildren and 889 were witnessed by other bystanders. Propensity score-matched and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the outcomes and associated factors.
resultsThe crude neurologically favourable outcome in the schoolchildren-witnessed group was considerably higher than that in the other-bystander-witnessed group (19.6% versus 12.3%;
conclusionsPatient outcomes did not differ significantly between schoolchildren- and other-bystander-witnessed cases of school-age OHCA. Although schoolchildren as witnesses might not be inferior to other bystanders in school-age OHCA, further studies are needed to examine the effect of bystander CPR by schoolchildren and basic life support education in schools.
