Successful treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is still based on quick activation of the chain of survival.

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 and goal of study: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in prehospital care is a major reason for emergency medical service (EMS) dispatches. CPR outcome depends on various factors, such as bystander CPR and initial heart rhythm. Our aim was to investigate whether short-term outcomes such as the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and hospital admission with spontaneous circulation differ depending on the location of the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In addition, we assessed further aspects of CPR performance. Materials and methods: In this monocentric retrospective study, protocols of a prehospital physician-staffed EMS located in Munich, Germany, were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U-test, chi-square test, and a multifactor logistic regression model. Results and discussion: Of the 12,073 cases between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2017, 723 EMS responses with OHCA were analyzed. In 393 of these cases, CPR was performed. The incidence of ROSC did not differ between public and non-public spaces ( Conclusion: The location of OHCA did not seem to affect the incidence of ROSC, although patients in public spaces had a higher chance to be admitted to the hospital with spontaneous circulation. Shockable initial heart rhythm, defibrillation, and the start of resuscitative efforts by an emergency physician were associated with higher chances of hospital admission with spontaneous circulation. Bystander CPR and bystander use of automated external defibrillators were low overall, emphasizing the importance of bystander education and training in order to enhance the chain of survival.
