Outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest among hospitals with and without telemedicine critical care.
Article in Resuscitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSurvival rates following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) are lower during nights and weekends (off-hours), as compared to daytime on weekdays (on-hours). Telemedicine Critical Care (TCC) may provide clinical support to improve IHCA outcomes, particularly during off-hours.
objectiveTo evaluate the association between hospital availability of TCC and IHCA survival.
methodsWe identified 44,585 adults at 280 U.S. hospitals in the Get With The Guidelines® - Resuscitation registry who suffered IHCA in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or hospital ward between July 2017 and December 2019. We used 2-level hierarchical multivariable logistic regression to investigate whether TCC availability was associated with better survival, overall, and during on-hours (Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m.-10:59p.m.) vs. off-hours (Monday-Friday 11:00p.m.-6:59 a.m., and Saturday-Sunday, all day, and US national holidays).
results14,373 (32.2%) participants suffered IHCA at hospitals with TCC, and 27,032 (60.6%) occurred in an ICU. There was no difference between TCC and non-TCC hospitals in acute resuscitation survival rate or survival to discharge rates for either IHCA occurring in the ICU (acute survival odds ratio [OR] 1.02, 95% CI 0.92-1.15; survival to discharge OR 0.94 [0.83-1.07]) or outside of the ICU (acute survival OR 1.03 [0.91-1.17]; survival to discharge OR 0.99 [0.86-1.12]. Timing of cardiac arrest did not modify the association between TCC availability and acute resuscitation survival (P =.37 for interaction) or survival to discharge (P =.39 for interaction).
conclusionsHospital availability of TCC was not associated with improved outcomes for in-hospital cardiac arrest.
