Comparison between a low-cost model (CPR Pillow) and a mannequin in training hands only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): A randomised trial.
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 5 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
Introduction: CPR is an important lifesaving skill that can improve outcomes of patients in cardiac arrest. Mass training of hands-only CPR is one of the ways to spread information and teach this skill. Need for expensive CPR mannequins are a limiting factor in conducting such mass training programmes. This study assessed the effectiveness of a low-cost CPR pillow model in training hands-only CPR. Methodology: Two hundred and six undergraduate students underwent a two-hour CPR training session. They were randomly divided into two groups - mannequin group and CPR pillow group and practiced hands-only CPR on a standard mannequin and a low-cost CPR pillow model, respectively. Knowledge, attitude, and skill acquisition were objectively assessed and compared between the two groups. Results: There was no statistical difference in hand positioning, chest compression rate and fraction, depth and overall CPR score between the two groups trained via mannequin and CPR Pillow ( Conclusion: The use of low-cost homemade CPR devices such as our CPR pillow model is an acceptable alternative to mannequin for training hands-only CPR to lay rescuers.
