1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: We investigated sex differences in 1-year survival in a cohort of patients who survived out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to hospital discharge. We hypothesized that female sex is associated with higher 1-year posthospital discharge survival. Methods: A retrospective analysis of linked data (2011-2017) from clinical databases in British Columbia (BC) was conducted. We used Kaplan-Meier curves, stratified by sex, to display survival up to 1-year, and the log-rank test to test for significant sex differences. This was followed by multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis to investigate the association between sex and 1-year mortality. The multivariable analysis adjusted for variables known to be associated with survival, including variables related to OHCA characteristics, comorbidities, medical diagnoses, and in-hospital interventions. Results: We included 1278 hospital-discharge survivors; 284 (22.2%) were female. Females had a lower proportion of OHCA occurring in public locations (25.7% vs. 44.0%, Conclusion: Females have relatively unfavorable prehospital characteristics in OHCA and fewer hospital-based acute coronary diagnoses and interventions. However, among survivors to hospital discharge, we found no significant difference between males and females in 1-year survival, even after adjustment.
