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.

Abstract

aimsTo determine which patient and cardiac arrest factors were associated with obtaining neuroimaging after in-hospital cardiac arrest, and among those patients who had neuroimaging, factors associated with which neuroimaging modality was obtained.

methodsRetrospective cohort study of patients who survived in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and were enrolled in the ICU-RESUS trial (NCT02837497).

resultsWe tabulated ultrasound (US), CT, and MRI frequency within 7 days following IHCA and identified patient and cardiac arrest factors associated with neuroimaging modalities utilized. Multivariable models determined which factors were associated with obtaining neuroimaging. Of 1000 patients, 44% had ≥ 1 neuroimaging study (US in 31%, CT in 18%, and MRI in 6% of patients). Initial USs were performed a median of 0.3 [0.1,0.5], CTs 1.4 [0.4,2.8], and MRIs 4.1 [2.2,5.1] days post-arrest. Neuroimaging timing and frequency varied by site. Factors associated with greater odds of neuroimaging were cardiac arrest in CICU (versus PICU), longer duration CPR, receiving ECMO post-arrest, and post-arrest care with targeted temperature management or EEG monitoring. US performance was associated with congenital heart disease. CT was associated with age ≥ 1-month, greater pre-arrest disability, and receiving CPR for ≥ 16 min. MRI utilization increased with pre-existing respiratory insufficiency and respiratory decompensation as arrest cause, and medical cardiac and surgical non-cardiac or trauma illness category. Overall, if neuroimaging was obtained, US was more common in CICU while CT/MRI were utilized more in PICU.

conclusionsPractice patterns for acquiring neuroimaging after IHCA are variable and influenced by patient, cardiac arrest, and site factors.
