Healthcare provider bystander CPR and AED rates for cardiac arrest in U.S. nursing homes.

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
Background: Nursing home residents are typically excluded in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Since nursing homes have on-site healthcare staff, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) for OHCA would ideally be 100% before arrival of 9-1-1 emergency responders. However, little is known about healthcare provider bystander response and the degree of variability in initiating CPR and AED use in nursing homes. Methods: Within the U.S. CARES registry, we identified 71,530 adults at nursing homes who had resuscitation initiated for OHCA between 2013-2021. We assessed rates of bystander CPR and AED application by nursing home healthcare staff. Using multivariable hierarchical logistic regression, we quantified variation in healthcare provider bystander CPR and AED application rates using the median odds ratio (OR), which estimates the difference in odds that 2 similar patients with OHCA would receive healthcare provider bystander CPR or have an AED applied at two randomly selected nursing homes. Results: Mean age was 74 ± 13 years and 53.5% were men. Overall, 58,814 (82.2%) patients received healthcare provider bystander CPR and 20,302 (28.4%) had an AED applied. Among 4014 nursing homes with ≥5 OHCAs ( Conclusion: In U.S. nursing homes, healthcare provider bystander CPR and AED application rates were not ideal, with large variation in both rates across sites.
