A ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest model with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rats: 8 minutes arrest time leads to increased myocardial damage but does not increase neuronal damage compared to 6 minutes.

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
Introduction: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an emerging strategy in highly selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest (CA). Animal models can help to identify new therapeutic strategies to improve neurological outcome and cardiac function after global ischemia in CA. Aim of the study was to establish a reproducible ECPR rat model of ventricular fibrillation CA (VFCA) that leads to consistent neuronal damage with acceptable long-term survival rates, which can be used for future research. Materials and methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats were resuscitated with ECPR from 6 min ( Results: Of the 15 rats included in the 6 min CA group, all achieved ROSC (100%) and 10 (67%) survived to 14 days; in the 8 min CA group, 15 (94%) achieved ROSC and 5 (31%) reached the endpoint. All sham animals ( Conclusion: Our findings indicate a uniform occurrence of neuronal damage in the hippocampus across both CA groups. However, there was a decrease in survival following an 8-min CA. Consequently, a 6-min duration of CA resulted in predictable neurological damage without significant cardiac damage and ensured adequate survival rates up to 14 days. This appears to offer a reliable model for investigating neuroprotective therapies.
