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: Despite the rising disease mortality rates, there is a dearth of studies on the incidence and trends of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in China. This study aims to investigate the incidence and temporal trends of presumed cardiac origin OHCA in Guangzhou, Southern China, from 2011 to 2020. Methods and results: In this population-based retrospective cohort study, pre-hospital data from the Guangzhou Emergency Medical Service (GZ-EMS) from 2011 to 2020 were analyzed. Crude incidence rates and age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) were calculated respectively. ASIRs were calculated using the 2000 national census population as the standard population. The Joinpoint software was used to calculate the Annual Percent Change (APC) and Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) in the incidence of OHCA over the study period. From 2011 to 2020, 44,375 EMS-assessed OHCAs of presumed cardiac origin were recorded. Overall, the crude incidence rate of OHCA was 53.1 per 100,000 on average. AAPC was 7.0% (95% CI: 4.3%-9.8%). Age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR) was 38.4 per 100,000 on average, with an average annual increase of 4.8% (95% CI: 2.4%-7.3%). The crude and ASIR of OHCA increased in men, while the ASIR changed more moderately in women. The age group of ≥80 years had the highest rate of increase. The 20-29 and 70-79 age groups also demonstrated notable increases. Conclusions: From 2011 to 2020, Guangzhou experienced a notable upward trend in both crude and ASIR of OHCA, with significant variations observed across gender and age demographics. This trend calls for a deeper investigation into the underlying factors.
