Association between obesity and neurological outcomes among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: The SOS-KANTO 2017 study.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Aim: To assess the association between body mass index (BMI) and neurological outcomes among patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational study conducted between 2019 and 2021 included adults with OHCA who were hospitalized after return of spontaneous circulation. Based on the BMI, the patients were categorized as underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m Results: Of the 9,909 patients with OHCA who presented during the study period, 637 were eligible, of whom 10.8% (69/637), 48.9% (312/637), 27.6% (176/637), and 12.5% (80/637) were underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese, respectively. These groups had favorable neurological outcome in 23.2%, 29.2%, 20.5%, and 16.2% of patients, respectively. Obese and overweight patients had a significantly lower rate of favorable neurologic outcomes (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.16-0.77; adjusted OR = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.31-0.90, respectively) than those with a normal weight. Conclusions: Obese and overweight patients with OHCA have reduced rates of favorable neurological outcomes, suggesting that clinicians should pay attention to the BMI of patients.
