Association between neurological outcomes and prehospital time in patients with out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest.

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
Introduction: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains an important health care issue. Considering the importance of such a time course after cardiac arrest, detailed evaluation of the prehospital time (i.e., time from EMS contact to a patient to hospital arrival) is essential to improve the mortality and neurologic outcome of OHCA. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of prehospital time on neurological outcomes in patients with OHCA. Methods: This retrospective observational study included adult non-traumatic OHCA patients who were transported to 2 emergency centers in Tokyo from January 2015 to December 2020. The following data were obtained retrospectively from medical records. Results: Of the 3120 OHCA patients who were transported during the study period, 2215 patients were evaluated via the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sixty-nine patients were alive at hospital discharge with a good neurological outcome (i.e., CPC 1 or 2). The multivariate logistic regression model showed that prehospital time (time from EMS contact to hospital arrival) was an independent predictor for hospital discharge with good neurological outcome, in addition to age, bystander CPR, initial rhythm, and cause of cardiac arrest. The GAM plot showed that the adjusted odds ratio of prehospital time for the good neurological outcome was decreased linearly according to time, and the threshold was approximately 30 min. Conclusion: The threshold of allowable prehospital time, including field activity and transport, for OHCA patients might be 30 min at least in a Japanese urban setting.
