Sudden Electrocardiogram Rhythm Changes after Return of Spontaneous Circulation in Porcine Models of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Phenomenological Report.
Review in Prehospital emergency care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundObservation of the electrocardiogram (ECG) immediately following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in resuscitated swine has revealed the interesting phenomenon of sudden ECG rhythm changes (SERC) that occur in the absence of pharmacological, surgical, or other medical interventions.
objectiveWe sought to identify, quantify, and characterize post-ROSC SERC in successfully resuscitated swine.
methodsWe reviewed all LabChart data from resuscitated approximately 4- to 6-month-old swine used for various experimental protocols from 2006 to 2019. We identified those that achieved sustained ROSC and analyzed their entire post-ROSC periods for evidence of SERC in the ECG, and arterial and venous pressure tracings. Presence or absence of SERC was confirmed independently by two reviewers (ACK, DDS). We measured the interval from ROSC to first SERC, analyzed the following metrics, and calculated the change from 60 sec pre-SERC (or from ROSC if less than 60 sec) to 60 sec post-SERC: heart rate, central arterial pressure (CAP), and central venous pressure (CVP).
resultsA total of 52 pigs achieved and sustained ROSC. Of these, we confirmed at least one SERC in 25 (48.1%). Two pigs (8%) each had two unique SERC events. Median interval from ROSC to first SERC was 3.8 min (inter-quartile range 1.0-6.9 min; range 16 sec to 67.5 min). We observed two distinct types of SERC: type 1) the post-SERC heart rate and arterial pressure increased (72% of cases); and type 2) the post-SERC heart rate and arterial pressure decreased (28% of cases). For type 1 cases, the mean (standard deviation [SD]) heart rate increased by 33.6 (45.7) beats per minute (bpm). The mean (SD) CAP increased by 20.6 (19.2) mmHg. For type 2 cases, the mean (SD) heart rate decreased by 39.7 (62.3) bpm. The mean (SD) CAP decreased by 21.9 (15.6) mmHg.
conclusionsSERC occurred in nearly half of all cases with sustained ROSC and can occur multiple times per case. First SERC most often occurred within the first 4 minutes following ROSC. Heart rate, CAP, and CVP changed at the moment of SERC. We are proceeding to examine whether this phenomenon occurs in humans post-cardiac arrest and ROSC.
