Association between Body Mass Index and Outcomes in Patients with Return of Spontaneous Circulation after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Increased body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and metabolic diseases. A high BMI may affect outcomes of post-cardiac arrest patients, but the association remains debatable. We aimed to determine the association between BMI and outcomes in patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). A systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. Studies that included patients who presented ROSC after OHCA, had a recorded BMI, and were assessed for neurological outcomes and in-hospital mortality were included. To assess the risk of bias of each included study, we employed the Risk of Bias Assessment Tool for Non-randomized Studies. We assessed 2427 patients from six studies. Neurological outcomes were significantly poorer in underweight patients (risk ratio (RR) = 1.21; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.37; p = 0.002; I
