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

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the variables that influence neurological functional restoration in cardiac arrest patients and construct a nomogram to predict neurofunctional prognosis. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe extracted the data from the Dryad database. Associations between patient variables and neurological outcomes were examined by logistic regression models. On the basis of these predictors, a prognostic nomogram was constructed. The identification and calibration of the prognostic nomogram were evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the calibration curve, and the concordance index (C-index).

resultsA total of 374 cardiac arrest individuals were recruited in the research. Sixty percent of the participants had an adverse neurological result. The multivariable logistic regression analysis for poor neurological recovery, which showed patient age ≥ 65 years, previous neurological disease, witnessed arrest, bystander cardio-pulmonary resuscitation(CPR), cardiac arrest presenting with a non-shockable rhythm, total epinephrine dose ≥ 2.5 mg at the time of resuscitation and acute kidney injury(AKI) remained independent predictors for neurological outcomes.

conclusionsThe novel nomogram based on clinical characteristics is an efficient tool to predict neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest patients, which may help clinicians identifying high-risk patients and tailoring personalized treatment regimens.
