Experiences and Psychological Influences in Lay Rescuers Performing Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of acute medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundBystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillation (AED) is pivotal in the community chain of survival, but little is known regarding the bystander experience of performing CPR and AED, and their psychological infl uence from the incidents in the Asian community. This qualitative study was conducted to explore the experiences of lay rescuers who had performed CPR and AED in public locations in Taiwan.
methodsLay rescuers who had provided initial CPR and defi brillation with AED in public locations across Taiwan in 2015 were selectively recruited from Taiwan Public AED Registry for a semi-structured interview.
resultsNine participants were included in the study, and event-to-interview duration was within 1 year (n = 4) and 1-2 years (n = 5). The major fi ndings from the study were: (1) the lay rescuers possessed helping traits and high motivation; (2) the lay rescuers reported certain aspects of rescue reality that differed much from prior training and expectations, including diffi culty in the depth of chest compression, and uncertainties in real emergency situations; (3) the lay rescuers gained positive personal fulfi llment in sharing their experience and receiving positive feedback from others, and were willing to help next time, although they experienced a short-term negative psychological impact from the event.
conclusionsThis study provides valuable information on strategies to increase layperson CPR rates and effectiveness in CPR training. Measures should be taken to increase layperson's confi dence and situation awareness, reduce training-reality discrepancy, build up a support system to avoid negative psychological effects, and prepare lay rescuers for the next resuscitation.
