Pulseless electrical activity and asystolic cardiac arrest in infants: identifying factors that influence outcomes.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThere is limited information on pulseless electrical activity (PEA)/asystolic cardiac arrest (CA) in the infant population. The aim is to describe the incidence and factors associated with outcomes in infants with PEA/asystolic CA.
methodsSingle-center retrospective chart review study of infants less than one year of age who suffer in-hospital PEA/asystolic CA from January 1 2011 to June 30 2019. The primary outcome was the return of spontaneous circulation. The secondary outcome was survival to discharge.
resultsCA occurred in 148 infants and PEA/asystolic was found in 38 (26%). Of those 29 (76%) achieved ROSC, and 12 (32%) survived to discharge. Infants on inotrope support or receiving longer duration of chest compressions and epinephrine had increase mortality. All infants with respiratory etiology of arrest survived to hospital discharge.
conclusionPEA/asystolic CAs are uncommon. Poor prognostic indicators include the need for pre-arrest inotrope support and increased duration of chest compressions.
