The past, present, and future of the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES).
Review in Resuscitation plus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Background: The Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) was created in 2004 in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Emory University School of Medicine's Department of Emergency Medicine. The registry allows local communities to benchmark their performance, enhance the quality of care, and increase survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods/design: CARES enrolls patients who experience a non-traumatic, EMS-treated OHCA. For each case, data is collected from three sources: 911 call center data, EMS data, and hospital data. CARES data is de-identified and stored in a secured web-based cloud platform and maintains confidentiality throughout the process. CARES data is subjected to an internal auditing system that oversees both local and regional levels. The variables in CARES adhere with the Utstein style reporting system and the National EMS Information System (NEMSIS) standard. Discussion: As of 2023, CARES captures data from a population base of over 178 million people which accounts for 53% of the total U.S. population. Over the past two decades, CARES has consistently been a part of public health surveillance for OHCA and serves as a quality improvement tool to improve cardiac arrest outcomes. Moreover, CARES commits to facilitate observational research on OHCA, continues to modernize its software platform, and comprehensively expands its coverage for the entire U.S.
