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
backgroundSince 2015, the international resuscitation guidelines recommend the implementation of specialized hospitals (so-called cardiac arrest centers, CAC) for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
objectivesThe aim was to investigate the potential influence of hospital certification as a CAC on the decision of emergency medical service staff (EMS, including out-of-hospital emergency physicians and paramedics) when transporting OHCA patients to a hospital. MATERIALS AND
methodsA web-based, anonymous questionnaire with 20 items was performed from 15 May 2018 to 15 June 2018 in Germany. Target groups were out-of-hospital emergency physicians and paramedics.
resultsOf 437 respondents, 378 responses (n = 292 emergency physicians, n = 86 paramedics) were included in the statistical analysis. In all, 75.1% (n = 284) indicated that CAC certification of hospitals would matter in their own transportation decisions for OHCA patients in future transportations, 78.3% (n = 296) expected that CAC certification will result in an improvement in patient care, and 78.8% (n = 298) were in favor of implementing the CAC certification. Respondents would accept an additional 16.3 min (95% confidence interval 15.2-17.3) of transportation time to reach a CAC.
conclusionsCertification of hospitals as CAC has the potential to influence emergency medical personnel decisions about which hospital to transport OHCA patients to. Due to the limited additional acceptable transport time to reach a CAC, a close network of certified hospitals is needed nationwide.
