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

backgroundTranscranial Doppler ultrasound is a sensitive, real time tool used for monitoring cerebral blood flow; it could provide additional information for cerebral perfusion in cerebral resuscitation during post cardiac arrest care. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the utility of a point-of-care transcranial Doppler ultrasound management algorithm on outcomes in pediatric asphyxial out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted in two tertiary pediatric intensive care units between January 2013 and June 2018. All children between 1 month and 18 years of age with asphyxial out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and a history of at least 3 min of chest compressions, who were treated with therapeutic hypothermia and survived for 12 h or more after the return of circulation were eligible for inclusion.

resultsTwenty-one patients met the eligibility criteria for the study. Sixteen (76.2%) of the 21 children were male, and the mean age was 2.8 ± 4.1 years. Seven (33.3%) of the children had underlying disorders. The overall 1-month survival rate was 52.4%. Twelve (57.1%) of the children received point-of-care transcranial Doppler ultrasound. The 1-month survival rate was significantly higher (

conclusionsPoint-of-care transcranial Doppler ultrasound group was associated with a significantly better 1-month survival rate compared with no point-of-care transcranial Doppler ultrasound group in pediatric asphyxial out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
