Comparative Analysis of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes in Health Clinics, Nursing Homes, and Public Places: Implications for Optimizing Automated External Defibrillator Strategies.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Various factors, such as event location and response time, influence the outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Very few studies have explored the delivery of basic life support (BLS) to patients having OHCA at health clinics or nursing homes-settings with professional BLS providers. Thus, in this study, we compared prognostic and survival outcomes between health clinics, nursing homes, and other public places (eg, workplaces and sports facilities/recreational areas) to offer insights for optimizing OHCA outcomes. Patients: This study included adults who had nontraumatic OHCA in Taoyuan City between January 2017 and December 2022. Methods: We collected data on patient characteristics, emergency medical service parameters, onsite patient management, automated external defibrillator (AED) locations, OHCA prognosis, and survival outcomes. Multivariate analyses were performed to predict survival to discharge (primary outcome) and neurological outcomes at discharge (secondary outcome). Results: During the study period, the numbers of OHCA events at health clinics, nursing homes, and other public places were 158, 208, and 1986, respectively. The mean age of OHCA in health medical clinics, nursing home and other public places were 63.4, 81.5 and 64.7, respectively (P value<0.001). The proportion of witnessed events, rate of bystander resuscitation, and frequency of AED utilization were the highest for health clinics (53.2% (84/158), 83.4% (132/158), and 13.3% (21/158), respectively, P value<0.001). The average AED-scene distances and response times were the lowest for health clinics (388.8 m and 5.4 min, respectively). In initial shockable rhythm group, the probabilities of survival to discharge at discharge were the highest for health clinics (aOR=1.41, 95% CI=1.04-1.81, P value=0.041)) and lowest for nursing homes (aOR=0.84, 95% CI=0.76-0.93, P value=0.024). Conclusion: Our research shows that OHCA patients at medical health clinics have higher rates of witnessing and bystander CPR and AED usage than other public places. However, while survival rates for patients with shockable rhythms are slightly better at health clinics, the neurological outcomes are not significantly different. The AED-scene distances are too far to be used effectively.
