Changes in treatments and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between the SOS-KANTO 2012 and 2017 studies.
Article in Annals of clinical epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe current report shows a comparison of changes in pre- and in-hospital procedures, treatments and outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) during the SOS-KANTO study periods.
methodThis study included patients aged ≥18 years who experienced bystander-witnessed OHCA of cardiac etiology, which was confirmed by emergency medical service (EMS) providers at the scene, received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from EMS providers, and were subsequently transported to the participating institutions.The primary outcome measure was patient survival with favorable neurological outcomes at 1 month from cardiac arrest. The secondary outcomes were the proportions of bystander CPR cases, advanced CPR procedures performed by EMS providers, pre-hospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rates, and post-resuscitation treatment administration.
resultsData of 1,515 patients from the SOS-KANTO 2017 study and 2,189 patients from the 2012 study were analyzed. Bystander CPR and advanced CPR procedures were performed more frequently and reliably by EMS providers in the 2017 than in the 2012 study. The rate of pre-hospital ROSC to total ROSC was higher in the 2017 study (35.7% vs 29.0%), and in-hospital treatments and post-resuscitation care was provided more frequently in the 2017 study. However, the 2017 study showed no significant difference in the survival rate with favorable neurological outcomes at 1 month, compared with the 2012 study. (9.0% vs 8.5%).
conclusionHigh quality of prior to ROSC and post-resuscitation care following ROSC was maintained in the 2017 study. However, the 2017 study showed no significant difference in the survival rate with favorable neurological outcomes at 1 month, compared with the 2012 study.
