Ventilation Rates and Capnography in Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest with Advanced Airways.
Article in Prehospital emergency care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesVentilation is important in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation; however, few studies describe ventilation rates during pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (pOHCA). Our objective was to characterize ventilations and end-tidal capnography (EtCO
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study that included pediatric (age < 18 years) non-traumatic OHCA treated by an urban fire-based EMS system (Columbus Division of Fire, Columbus, Ohio) from April 2019 to December 2020. We identified ventilations delivered during resuscitation by manual review of continuous EtCO
resultsWe identified 38 pOHCA cases and 30 cases were included for ventilation analysis. Cases were primarily infants (0.7 years, IQR 0.17-2), male (52.6%), and African-American race (63.1%). Most pOHCAs were unwitnessed (65.8%) with non-shockable rhythms (94.8%) and infrequent bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (31.2%). Eight patients achieved ROSC (21.2%) and two patients survived (5.3%). Advanced airway attempts included supraglottic airway devices (71.1%), endotracheal intubation (7.8%), or both (7.8%). Ventilation rates ranged from 0-23 per minute. Automated ventilation detection algorithms performed well in pediatric ventilation detection where the mean standard error was 3.7 mmHg in EtCO
conclusionsThese results offer one of the first perspectives of ventilation in pOHCA. Differences were observed in ventilation rates and EtCO
