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

Introduction: Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains one of the main causes of death among industrialized countries. The initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by laypeople before the arrival of emergency medical services improves survival. Mouth-to-mouth ventilation may constitute a hindering factor to start bystander CPR, while during continuous chest compressions (CCC) CPR quality decreases rapidly. The aim of this scoping review is to examine the existing literature on strategies that investigate the inclusion of intentional pauses during compression-only resuscitation (CO-CPR) to improve the performance in the context of single lay rescuer OHCA. Methods: The protocol of this Scoping review was prospectively registered in Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/rvn8j). A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, CINAHL was performed. Results: Six articles were included. All studies were carried out on simulation manikins and involved a total of 1214 subjects. One study had a multicenter design. Three studies were randomized controlled simulation trials, the rest were prospective randomized crossover studies. The tested protocols were heterogeneous and compared CCC to CO-CPR with intentional interruptions of various length. The most common primary outcome was compressions depth. Compression rate, rescuers' perceived exertion and composite outcomes were also evaluated. Compressions depth and perceived exertion improved in most study groups while compression rate and chest compression fraction remained within guidelines indications. Conclusions: In simulation studies, the inclusion of intentional interruptions during CO-CPR within the specific scenario of single rescuer bystander CPR during OHCA may improve the rate of compressions with correct depth and lower rate of perceived exertion. Further high-quality research and feasibility and safety of protocols incorporating intentional interruptions during CO-CPR may be justified.
