EPOS-OHCA: Early Predictors of Outcome and Survival after non-traumatic Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.
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 6 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: Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) poses significant challenges due to its complex pathomechanisms involving inflammation, ischemia, and reperfusion injury. The identification of early available prognostic indicators is essential for optimizing therapeutic decisions and improving patient outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, we analyzed real-world data from 463 OHCA patients with either prehospital or in-hospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), treated at the Cardiac Arrest Center of the University Hospital of Marburg (MCAC) from January 2018 to December 2022. We evaluated demographic, prehospital, and clinical variables, including initial rhythms, resuscitation details, and early laboratory results. Statistical analyses included logistic regression to identify predictors of survival and neurological outcomes. Results: Overall, 46.9% (n = 217) of patients survived to discharge, with 70.1% (n = 152) achieving favorable neurological status (CPC 1 or 2). Age, initial shockable rhythm, resuscitation time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and early laboratory parameters like lactate, C-reactive protein, and glomerular filtration rate were identified as independent and combined Conclusion: Integration of EPOS into clinical procedures may significantly improve clinical decision making and thus patient prognosis in the early time-crucial period after OHCA. However, further validation in other patient cohorts is needed.
