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: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a significant global health challenge with high incidence and low survival rates; this study aimed to predict mortality in these patients. Methods: This 5-year retrospective chart review, conducted at the emergency departments (EDs) of two tertiary hospitals, systematically categorized, coded, and analyzed variables to assess mortality risk in OHCA patients. Results: Of the 822 (36.5%) patients who met the inclusion criteria, the mean age was 60.2 years (SD ± 17.6), with 65.7% being male. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was attempted on 586 patients, with 178 (30.4%) achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the ED. Significant risk factors for mortality included hypertension ( Conclusion: Elderly males with hypertension, diabetes, respiratory ailments, and multiple comorbidities constituted a significant risk group. Factors such as prior episodes of chest pain and fluid overload were associated with higher mortality. Patients with asystole and PEA had low survival rates.
