Association between body mass index and clinical outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A multicenter observational study.
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 3 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: We examined the association between body mass index (BMI) and outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the database of an observational multicenter cohort in Japan. Adult patients with OHCA of cardiac etiology who received ECPR between 2013 and 2018 were categorized as follows: underweight, BMI < 18.5; normal weight, BMI = 18.5-24.9; overweight, BMI = 25-29.9; and obese, BMI ≥ 30 kg/m Results: In total, 1,044 patients were analyzed. Their median age was 61 (IQR, 49-69) years; the median BMI was 24.2 (21.5-26.9) kg/m Conclusions: In OHCA patients undergoing ECPR, a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
