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

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving intervention to restore circulation in cardiac arrest patients, with chest compressions being its cornerstone. However, CPR is associated with complications, predominantly chest wall injuries such as rib and sternum fractures. Rarely, intra-abdominal injuries, including liver rupture, can occur, posing life-threatening bleeding risks that require emergent intervention. Recognition of these less common complications can lead to significant improvements in post-CPR protocols and patient outcomes. Raising awareness of visceral injuries after resuscitation highlights the critical need for systematic evaluation and timely intervention. Here, we present a case of a patient with hepatic laceration following CPR with a CORPULS system, successfully identified and managed through a multidisciplinary approach. We propose the adoption of a structured post-CPR abdominal assessment protocol in high-risk patients who have undergone resuscitation.
