Efficacy of VG26 and K1 acupuncture points in cardiopulmonary resuscitation of neonatal puppies born by cesarean section.

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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of acupuncture points VG26 and K1 on the reversal of apnea and the elevation of heart and respiratory rates in neonatal dogs after birth. Sixty neonates who were apneic, bradycardic, bradypneic or dyspneic were divided into three groups: VG26 acupuncture point (GVG26), K1 acupuncture point (GK1), and control (CG). Data on heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and Apgar score were collected. The moments of analysis were after 1 min of tactile respiratory stimulus (M1); after stimulation with the acupuncture points (M2); and 10 min after the last assessment (M3). After the VG26 and K1 were used, a significant increase in HR was observed between M1 and M2, medians (25% quartile-75% quartile), respectively: GVG26 136 and 202 bpm; GK1 147 and 195 bpm; GC 168 and 187 bpm. Significant clinical improvement was also observed in RR, with a median at M1 and M2, respectively: GVG26 16 and 28 mpm; GK1 18 and 32 mpm; GC 32 and 40 mpm. For the Apgar score, significant differences were observed in the mean scores between M1 and M3 in the GVG26, GK1 and CG groups. The VG26 and K1 acupuncture points are effective in neonatal puppies, leading to improvements in the respiratory pattern and increases in the HR, RR and Apgar score, can be used in neonatal resuscitation at birth.
