Association of socioeconomic status with 30-day survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Scotland, 2011-2020.

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 AND
aimsThe aim of this study was to investigate the crude and adjusted association of socioeconomic status with 30-day survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Scotland and to assess whether the effect of this association differs by sex or age.
methodsThis is a population-based, retrospective cohort study, including non-traumatic, non-Emergency Medical Services witnessed patients with OHCA where resuscitation was attempted by the Scottish Ambulance Service, between 1 April 2011 and 1 March 2020. Socioeconomic status was defined using the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). The primary outcome was 30-day survival after OHCA. Crude and adjusted associations of SIMD quintile with 30-day survival after OHCA were estimated using logistic regression. Effect modification by age and sex was assessed by stratification.
resultsCrude analysis showed lower odds of 30-day survival in the most deprived quintile relative to least deprived [odds ratio (OR) 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.63-0.88]. Adjustment for age, sex, and urban/rural residency decreased the relative odds of survival further (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.47-0.67). The strongest association was observed in males <45 years old. Across quintiles of increasing deprivation, evidence of decreasing trends in the proportion of those presenting with shockable initial cardiac rhythm, those receiving bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and 30-day survival after OHCA were found.
conclusionsSocioeconomic status is associated with 30-day survival after OHCA in Scotland, favouring people living in the least deprived areas. This was not explained by confounding due to age, sex, or urban/rural residency. The strongest association was observed in males <45 years old.
