Water search and rescue (SAR) for ship accidents in China: analysis of 12 years' data.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 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
Background: Maritime search and rescue (SAR) remains a great global challenge because of the long distances, harsh environment and complicated trauma. A systematic investigation and analysis of China Maritime Search and Rescue Center (CMSRC) data has been lacking. This study aimed to provide more insightful information for future development of a better maritime and aquatic SAR system in China. Methods: This retrospective study retrieved and analyzed data on the water traffic volume from The Ministry of Transportation, People's Republic of China website and SAR data on ship accidents between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2019. Spearman's correlation test was performed to analyze the data for the number of ship accidents, number of persons in distress, number of rescued persons, SAR success rate, and SAR forces. The χ Results: Between 2008 and 2019, a total of 24,013 ship accidents were reported and recorded by the CMSRC surveillance system; 209,948 persons in distress because of ship accidents were reported; 8,051 individual deaths from ship accidents. Water traffic volume and ship carrying capacity increased while the annual number of persons in distress, ship collisions, and ship collision-related deaths decreased. The SAR success rate (96.17%±0.92%) did not improve despite an increase in the number of rescue ships dispatched during this period. Helicopters (92.40±20.58 min) arrived faster than rescue ships (283.75±40.96 min) but the dispatched number of helicopters did not increase during this period. The average arrival time of nearby passing ships (41.90±7.98 min) was the shortest. Conclusions: CMSRC efforts mitigated the growth of ship accidents despite increasing traffic volume. More dispatched rescue ships did not improve the SAR success rate without saving arrival time. Future SAR protocols may need to increase and strengthen the role of helicopters and nearby passing ships to improve the SAR success rate.
