OUT-OF-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST OUTCOMES - BYSTANDER CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION RATE IMPROVEMENT.
Observational study in Acta clinica Croatica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Approximately 8000 people suffer from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the Republic of Croatia every year. OHCA survival rates generally remain low despite major advances in resuscitation. Its incidence and survival rate are well known in many European countries, but reliable data on OHCA in Croatia are lacking. The aim of the study was to determine survival rate of patients with OHCA in the Republic of Croatia and the importance of the community bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rates in the survival chain. This prospective observational study performed between October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 included all adult patients with OHCA in Croatia who were treated by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). OHCA data were collected from the Croatian Institute of Emergency Medicine database and Utstein cardiac arrest data collection form. Descriptive data presentation was used in the analyses. Data were expressed as absolute frequencies and percentages and central tendency measures. Testing of correlations in return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was performed by logistic regression. During the observation period, a total of 1763 adult patients without signs of circulation were assessed by EMS in Croatia and 760 (43%) adult patients were resuscitated by EMS personnel. Outcomes measured in ROSC until emergency department admission were reported in 126 (17%) cases. Shockable rhythm
