1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAmplitude spectrum area (AMSA) calculated from ventricular fibrillation (VF) can be used to monitor the effectiveness of chest compression (CC) and optimize the timing of defibrillation. However, reliable AMSA can only be obtained during CC pause because of artifacts. In this study, we sought to develop a method for estimating AMSA during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using only the electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform.

methodsIntervals of 8 seconds ECG and CC-related references, including 4 seconds during CC and an adjacent 4 seconds without CC, were collected before 1,008 defibrillation shocks from 512 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. Signal quality was analyzed based on the irregularity of autocorrelation of VF. If signal quality index (SQI) was high, AMSA would be calculated from the original signal. Otherwise, CC-related artifacts would be constructed and suppressed using the least mean square filter from VF before calculation of AMSA. The algorithm was optimized using 480 training shocks and evaluated using 528 independent testing shocks.

resultsOverall, CC resulted in lower SQI [0.15 (0.04-0.61) with CC

conclusionsUsing the signal quality-based artifact suppression method, AMSA can be reliably estimated and continuously monitored during CPR.
