The association between mechanical CPR and outcomes from in-hospital cardiac arrest: An observational cohort study.
Observational study in Resuscitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimWe sought to investigate the relationship between mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during in-hospital cardiac arrest and survival to hospital discharge.
methodsUtilizing the prospectively collected American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines database, we performed an observational study. Data from 153 institutions across the United States were reviewed with a total of 351,125 patients suffering cardiac arrest between 2011 and 2019 were screened. After excluding patients with cardiac arrests lasting less than 5 minutes, and patients who had incomplete data, a total of 111,143 patients were included. Our primary exposure was mechanical vs. manual CPR, and the primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Multivariate logistic regression models and propensity weighted analyses were used.
results11.8% of patients who received mechanical CPR survived to hospital discharge versus 16.9% in the manual CPR group. Patients who received mechanical CPR had a lower probability of survival to discharge compared to patients who received manual CPR (OR 0.66 95% CI 0.58-0.75; p < 0.001). This association persisted with multi-variable adjustment (OR 0.57 95% CI 0.46-0.70, p < 0.0001) and propensity weighted analysis (OR 0.68 95% CI 0.44-0 0.92, p < 0.0001). Mechanical CPR was associated with decrease likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation after multivariate adjustment (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.60-0.76; p < 0.001).
conclusionsMechanical CPR was associated with a decreased likelihood of survival to hospital discharge and ROSC compared to manual CPR. This finding should be interpreted within the context of important limitations of this study and randomized trials are needed to better investigate this relationship.
