Dynamic changes of the hemoglobin index during resuscitation in patients with out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest due to freshwater drowning: A retrospective observational study.

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 hemoglobin index (HbI) represents the amount of hemoglobin, which reflects the regional tissue blood volume. The HbI is calculated by a regional oxygen saturation monitor. In freshwater drowning, inhaled water is immediately absorbed into the blood causing hemodilution. We hypothesized that this blood dilution could be observed in real time using HbI values in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to freshwater drowning.
methodsIn this single-center retrospective, observational study, we examined the HbI in patients with OHCA due to freshwater drowning from April 2015 to May 2020. Patients with OHCA due to hanging were selected as a control group.
resultsThirty-two patients in the freshwater drowning group and 21 in the control group were eligible for inclusion. In the freshwater drowning group, the HbI values in the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) group were significantly decreased in comparison to the non-ROSC group (-0.28 [IQR -0.55, -0.12] vs. -0.04 [IQR -0.16, 0.025];
conclusionBlood dilution induced by freshwater drowning might be detected in real time using the HbI. To prove the validity of this research's result, further prospective large study is needed.
