Impact of holiday periods on survival following an in-hospital cardiac arrest.

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
Introduction: Higher rates of mortality following an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has been shown during nights and weekends, changes in staff density and composition has been suggested as a possible explanation. Changes in hospital staffing patterns are also common during holiday periods. Aim: To investigate whether holiday periods are associated with decreased survival following an IHCA. Material and methods: All patients ≥18 years who experienced an IHCA at Karolinska University Hospital between 2006 and 2019 were included. Patients were identified via and data was collected from the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Holiday was defined as two periods, a seven-week summer period and an approximately two-week Christmas period. The primary outcome was return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), secondary survival to hospital discharge. Logistic regression was performed to calculate odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjustment was done for known confounders. Results: Out of 1936 registered cases, 264 (14%) occurred during holiday periods. Patient and event characteristics were similar on holidays compared to non-holidays. Both ratio for ROSC (45% and 55%, respectively) and survival (25% and 32% respectively) was poorer during holiday periods Adjusted OR for ROSC and survival was poorer during holiday periods compared non-holiday periods (OR 0.69 [95% CI, 0.53-0.92] and OR 0.69 [95% CI, 0.49-0.96], respectively). Conclusion: Outcomes after IHCA was poorer during holiday periods compared to non-holiday periods even if patient and event characteristics was similar. Further research is needed to better understand to what degree staffing patterns and other factors contribute to the observed difference.
