Community-level socioeconomic status and outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A systematic review and meta analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
backgroundThe aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the associations of community-level socioeconomic status (SES) on outcomes of patients with out-of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
methodsA systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane database according to guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). We included literature that presented the outcomes based on community-level SES among patients with OHCA. SES indicators included economic indicators such as income, wealth, and occupation, as well as combined indicators, where any of these indicators were integrated. Outcomes were bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and survival to discharge.
resultsFrom 1394 titles, 10 cross-sectional observational studies fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria, representing 118,942 patients with OHCA. The odds ratios (ORs) of bystander CPR and survival to discharge for lower community-level SES patients were lower than those for higher community-level SES by economic SES indicators (bystander CPR OR 0.67; 95% CI 0.51-0.89, survival to discharge OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.35-1.02). Based on combined SES indicators the results showed similar patterns (bystander CPR OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.75-0.84, survival to discharge OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.63-0.92).
conclusionIn this meta-analysis, community-level SES was significantly associated with bystander CPR and survival among patients with OHCA.
