1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates have improved over time. This study established whether improvements were similar for women and men, and to what extent resuscitation characteristics or in-hospital procedures contributed to sex differences in temporal trends. METHODS AND

resultsThis retrospective cohort study included 3386 women and 8564 men from North Holland, the Netherlands, who experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from a cardiac cause in 2005 to 2017. Yearly rates of 30-day survival and secondary outcomes were calculated. Sex differences in temporal trends were evaluated with age-adjusted Poisson regression analysis, including interaction for sex and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest year. Resuscitation characteristics and in-hospital procedures were added to the model, and a spline at 2013 was considered. During the study period, the average 30-day survival was 24.9% in men and 15.7% in women. The 30-day survival rate increased in men (20% to 27.2%;

conclusionsChanges in rates of 30-day survival, survival to hospital arrival, and, after 2013, survival from hospital arrival to 30 days were more beneficial in men than women. The differences in trends were partly explained by shockable initial rhythm and in-hospital procedures.
