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

Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is highly dependent on the time to initial resuscitation efforts. When OHCA occurs in public environments, the probability of CPR-trained responders and proximal AED availability is higher than in residential communities, where AEDs are often absent, and layperson response is highly variable. To address this, a novel system of care approach has been developed that electronically links "connected AEDs" to emergency response centers, allowing activation of layperson volunteers equipped with AEDs to shorten response time. We present a case of a successful OHCA resuscitation in a residential community that has implemented this novel layperson response system.
