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

The optimal duration of on-scene cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients remains uncertain. Determining this critical time period requires outweighing the potential risks associated with intra-arrest transport while minimizing delays in accessing definitive hospital-based treatments. This study evaluated the association between on-scene CPR duration and 30-day neurologically favorable survival based on the transport time interval (TTI) in patients with OHCA. We retrospectively analyzed data from the Korean Cardiac Arrest Research Consortium registry of OHCA, comprising 65 participating hospitals in South Korea, between October 2015 and December 2021. We categorized the patients into Short-TTI (TTI < 10 min) and Long-TTI (TTI ≥ 10 min) groups. Differences in clinical features were adjusted for using propensity score matching (PSM) for TTI. The primary outcome was a 30-day neurologically favorable outcome, defined as cerebral performance category 1 or 2. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the variables associated with clinical outcomes. A generalized additive model based on a restricted cubic spline smooth function was utilized to infer the optimal cutoff point for on-scene CPR duration. Of the 6,345 patients, 5,844 PSM pairings were created (Short-TTI: 2,922; Long-TTI: 2,922). The primary outcome was achieved in 7.4% and 9.8% of the patients in Short-TTI and Long-TTI groups, respectively (p = 0.001). Increased on-scene CPR duration was associated with decreased neurologically favorable survival (adjusted odds ratio, 0.94; 95% confidence interval, 0.92-0.96). The optimal on-scene CPR durations in the overall PSM, Short-TTI, and Long-TTI groups were 5.1, 0, and 5.0 min, respectively. An adjusted on-scene CPR duration based on expected transport duration may be beneficial for favorable clinical outcomes in patients with OHCA.
