Race is not associated with medical emergency team evaluation prior to in-hospital cardiac 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
backgroundBlack patients have worse outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Whether these racial disparities are associated with medical emergency team (MET) evaluation prior to IHCA remains unknown.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of adults age ≥ 18 years from the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines® Resuscitation registry who had an IHCA between 2000 and 2021 with acute physiologic decline (modified early warning score [MEWS] ≥ 3) during the 24 h prior to IHCA. A propensity-weighted cohort was constructed to balance confounders between Black and White patients. The association between race and MET evaluation was quantified with weighted multivariable logistic regression.
resultsAmong 354,480 patients, 88,507 met the initial inclusion criteria, of which 29,714 patients (median age 69 [IQR 58-79] years, 42.5% female, and 26.9% Black) had acute physiologic decline during the 24 h prior to IHCA. Among patients with acute physiologic decline, 4102 (13.8%) patients had a preceding MET evaluation before IHCA. Rates of MET evaluation prior to cardiac arrest did not differ significantly between Black and White patients with acute physiologic decline (aOR 1.02, 95% CI 0.94-1.11, p = 0.62).
conclusionsThough racial disparities in IHCA outcomes exist, this study did not detect a difference in rates of MET evaluation prior to IHCA among patients with acute physiologic decline as a potential mechanism for these disparities.
