Outcomes and interventions in patients transported to hospital with ongoing CPR after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest - An observational study.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionThe main objective was to present characteristics and outcome of patients without sustained field return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) transported to hospital with ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Our secondary objectives were to investigate hospital-based interventions and the performance of the universal Termination of Resuscitation-rule (uTOR).
methodsIn this retrospective observational cohort study, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients arriving to the emergency department of a university hospital in Sweden during a six-year period (2010-2015) were identified using a prospectively recorded hospital-based registry. Additional data were retrieved from medical records and from the Swedish cardiopulmonary resuscitation registry.
resultsAmong 409 patients transported with ongoing CPR, 7 survived to hospital discharge (1.7%). Hospital-based interventions against a suspected cause of arrest were attempted during ongoing resuscitation in 34 patients (8.3%), of whom 3 survived to hospital discharge. The remaining 4 survivors had spontaneous in-hospital ROSC. Survivors presented with either a shockable rhythm (
conclusionSurvival after OHCA where sustained prehospital ROSC is not achieved is rare and available in-hospital interventions are rarely utilised. No patient with asystole as the first recorded rhythm survived. The uTOR identified non-survivors with a PPV of 98.4% but showed poor specificity.
