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

Objectives: Recently, ILCOR unveiled the ground-breaking global initiative Aim: To generate a baseline of how well the ten steps currently function in Sweden, in order to better target educational interventions. Material and methods: A survey was created using an online form application (Google Forms) and sent to CPR coordinators and physicians in charge of CPR at all 74 Swedish hospitals participating in the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (SRCR). Hospitals were asked to self-evaluate their functionality on each step on a ten-point scale ranging from 1 "Not present or not functioning at all" to 10 "Very well-functioning". Data regarding number of IHCA and their survival during 2018-2022 was gathered from the SRCR. Results: A total of 34 out of 74 (46%) Swedish hospitals participated in the survey, collectively representing 59% (7,113 out of 12,070) of IHCA cases in SRCR. The responding hospitals were satisfied with the functionality of just over half of the steps currently (median 60%, range 30-90%). The steps with the highest proportion of satisfied hospitals were found for step 6-rapid response systems (85%) and 7-guideline-based resuscitation (94%), while the steps with lowest proportion of satisfied hospitals were found for step 4-goals of treatment (32%) and step 9-person centred culture (18%). About half of participating hospitals expressed intent to prioritise upcoming years' work on step 1- infrastructure, step 3- effective education and step 5- stop preventable IHCA. Conclusion: The conclusion is that most hospitals judge themselves to be well-functioning on many of the ten steps, but steps involving effective education might need attention, as well as the tolerance for presence of preventable IHCA
