Outcomes of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Predictors of Its Outcomes in the Emergency Department in King Saud Medical City, Saudi Arabia.

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
backgroundCardiac arrest is a medical emergency marked by the cessation of cardiac mechanical activity and insufficient blood flow. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a life-saving method that involves restoring the essential functions of two vital organs: the heart and lungs. This study was conducted to identify the outcome of CPR in cardiac arrest patients presented to the emergency department (ED) and to identify predictors of CPR outcomes. METHODOLOGY: This was a retrospective, descriptive study. All in-hospital cardiac arrest patients who underwent CPR in the King Saud Medical City (KSMC) ED between January 2017 and January 2020 were analyzed, with a sample size of 351 patients.
resultsOverall return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to discharge (STD) were achieved in 106 (30.2%) and 40 (11.39%) patients, respectively. When assessing the predictors of ROSC, the analyses showed that patient age, pre-arrest intubation, the method used to deliver oxygen, and CPR duration were all statistically significant predictors for ROSC. Similarly, when assessing predictors associated with STD, the analyses showed that patient age, pre-arrest intubation, the method used to deliver oxygen, and CPR duration were positively associated with STD.
conclusionComparing the study's findings to those of similar studies, it shows a CPR outcome rate within the range of similar studies. It also highlights that CPR outcomes are highly associated with CPR duration (a maximum of 30 minutes), younger age, and endotracheal intubation.
