Pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest: Respiratory failure characteristics and association with outcomes.
Article in Resuscitation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsTo characterize respiratory failure prior to pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and to associate pre-arrest respiratory failure characteristics with survival outcomes.
methodsThis is a single-center, retrospective cohort study from a prospectively identified cohort of children <18 years in intensive care units (ICUs) who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for ≥1 minute between January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2021, and were receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in the hour prior to IHCA. Patient characteristics, ventilatory support and gas exchange immediately pre-arrest were described and their association with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was measured.
resultsIn the 187 events among 154 individual patients, the median age was 0.9 [0.2, 2.4] years, and CPR duration was 7.5 [3, 29] minutes. Respiratory failure was acute prior to 106/187 (56.7%) events, and the primary indication for IMV was respiratory in nature in 107/187 (57.2%) events. Immediately pre-arrest, the median positive end-expiratory pressure was 8 [5, 10] cmH
conclusionsThere was substantial heterogeneity in respiratory failure characteristics and ventilatory requirements pre-arrest. Higher pre-arrest oxygen requirement and greater degree of oxygenation failure were associated with worse survival outcomes.
