Comparison of instructor-led compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator training for secondary school students: A multicenter noninferiority randomized trial.

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: Many barriers exist to the wider and sustainable implementation of basic life support (BLS) training in secondary schools. Whether trained teacher instructors are not worse than healthcare instructors by 20% (noninferiority margin) of simulated BLS skills for secondary school students is unclear. Methods: We conducted a two-armed, parallel, noninferiority, blinded, randomized controlled trial at four secondary schools in Hong Kong after teachers had undergone BLS training. Students were randomized to either the trained teacher or healthcare instructor group for the 2-hour compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator (CO-CPRAED) course. The assessors for the students' BLS skill performance six months after the CO-CPRAED course were blinded. Results: Of the 33 trained teachers, 13 (39.4%) volunteered to be instructors for the CO-CPRAED course. Three hundred and eleven students (median age: 15 years, 67% males) were randomized to either the teacher ( Conclusions: A brief 2-hour CO-CPRAED intervention by trained teachers was noninferior to healthcare instructors and it was associated with students' very positive attitudes towards CPR, and retention of knowledge and BLS skills.
