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

Background: Cerebral computed tomography (CT) and various severity scoring systems have been developed for the early prediction of the neurological outcomes of cardiac arrest survivors. However, few studies have combined these approaches. Therefore, we evaluated the value of the combination of cerebral CT and severity score for neuroprognostication. Methods: This single-center, retrospective observational study included consecutive patients surviving nontraumatic cardiac arrest (January 2016 and December 2020). Gray-to-white ratio (GWR), third and fourth ventricle characteristics, and medial temporal lobe atrophy scores were evaluated on noncontrast cerebral CT. Simplified cardiac arrest hospital prognosis (sCAHP) score was calculated for severity assessment. The associations between the CT characteristics, sCAHP score and neurological outcomes were analyzed. Results: This study enrolled 559 patients. Of them, 194 (34.7%) were discharged with favorable neurological outcomes. Patients with favorable neurological outcome had a higher GWR (1.37 vs 1.25, Conclusions: The combination of GWR and sCAHP score can be used to effectively predict the neurological outcomes of cardiac arrest survivors and thus ensure timely intervention for those at high risk of poor recovery.
