Examining the association between ethnicity and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest interventions in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Aims: Previous research has reported racial disparities in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) interventions, including bystander CPR and AED use. However, studies on other prehospital interventions are limited. The primary objective of this study was to investigate race/ethnic disparities in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) interventions: EMS response times, medication administration, and decisions for intra-arrest transport. The secondary objective was to evaluate differences in the provision of Bystander CPR (CPR) and application of AED. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from the Salt Lake City Fire Department (2010-2023). We included adults 18 years or older with EMS-treated OHCA. Race/ethnicity was categorized as White people, Asian people, Black people, Hispanic people, and others. We employed multivariable regression analysis to evaluate the association between race/ethnicity and the outcomes of interest. Results: Unadjusted analyses revealed no significant differences across ethnic groups in EMS response, medication administration, bystander CPR, or intra-arrest transport decisions. However, significant ethnic disparities were observed in Automated External Defibrillator (AED) utilization, Black people having the lowest rate (6.5%) and Asian people the highest (21.8%). The adjusted analysis found no significant association between race/ethnicity and all OHCA intervention measures, nor between race/ethnicity and survival outcomes. Conclusions: Our multivariable analysis found no statistically significant association between race/ethnicity and EMS response time, epinephrine administration, antiarrhythmic medication use, bystander CPR, AED intervention, or intra-arrest transport. These results imply regional variations in ethnic disparities in OHCA may not be consistent across all areas, warranting further research into disparities in other regions and additional influential factors like neighborhood conditions and socioeconomic status.
