Trends in survival after cardiac arrest: a Swedish nationwide study over 30 years.
Article in European heart journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 72 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsTrends in characteristics, management, and survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) were studied in the Swedish Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Registry (SCRR). METHODS AND
resultsThe SCRR was used to study 106 296 cases of OHCA (1990-2020) and 30 032 cases of IHCA (2004-20) in whom resuscitation was attempted. In OHCA, survival increased from 5.7% in 1990 to 10.1% in 2011 and remained unchanged thereafter. Odds ratios [ORs, 95% confidence interval (CI)] for survival in 2017-20 vs. 1990-93 were 2.17 (1.93-2.43) overall, 2.36 (2.07-2.71) for men, and 1.67 (1.34-2.10) for women. Survival increased for all aetiologies, except trauma, suffocation, and drowning. OR for cardiac aetiology in 2017-20 vs. 1990-93 was 0.45 (0.42-0.48). Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation increased from 30.9% to 82.2%. Shockable rhythm decreased from 39.5% in 1990 to 17.4% in 2020. Use of targeted temperature management decreased from 42.1% (2010) to 18.2% (2020). In IHCA, OR for survival in 2017-20 vs. 2004-07 was 1.18 (1.06-1.31), showing a non-linear trend with probability of survival increasing by 46.6% during 2011-20. Myocardial ischaemia or infarction as aetiology decreased during 2004-20 from 67.4% to 28.3% [OR 0.30 (0.27-0.34)]. Shockable rhythm decreased from 37.4% to 23.0% [OR 0.57 (0.51-0.64)]. Approximately 90% of survivors (IHCA and OHCA) had no or mild neurological sequelae.
conclusionSurvival increased 2.2-fold in OHCA during 1990-2020 but without any improvement in the final decade, and 1.2-fold in IHCA during 2004-20, with rapid improvement the last decade. Cardiac aetiology and shockable rhythms were halved. Neurological outcome has not improved.
