Epidemiology of paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Ontario, Canada.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: There are no Canadian epidemiological studies of Paediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (POHCA) for ≥20 years. Understanding the epidemiology of POHCA is key to prevention, education, and management strategies. Methods: We applied a validated algorithm to hospital administrative databases to describe paediatric (age 1 day to ≤18 years) atraumatic OHCA in Ontario from 2004-2020. Results: The cohort included 1,839 paediatric patients with atraumatic POHCA occurring at a median (IQR) age of 2 (0-12) years with 721 (39.2%) POHCA events in <1-year-olds. Males accounted for 71.1% ( Conclusions: This is the largest Canadian POHCA cohort and the first to describe its incidence, comorbidities, and sociodemographic characteristics. We found an increase in annual crude incidence, POHCA mostly occurred in healthy children, and survival was similar to other cohorts. There were more than double the number of POHCA events in children living in the lowest income quintile neighborhoods compared to the highest. Most children presented to non-academic hospitals first.
