Non-invasive Monitor of Effective Chest Compressions with Carotid and Femoral Artery Ultrasound in the Emergency Department.
Article in The western journal of emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEnd-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO
methodsFor this prospective study we enrolled 31 cardiac arrest (CA) patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) and 13 healthy volunteers as point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) controls. Two physicians not involved in the resuscitation team performed POCUS of the bilateral carotid and femoral arteries during chest compression within the first 10 minutes of CPR. The clinical data and presumed CA cause were recorded. We observed the arterial pulse and measured the peak systolic velocity (PSV). The EtCO
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 69 ± 2 years, and 22 were male. Of 25 patients who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, 18 had an average no/low-flow time >30 minutes before ED arrival. Five patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). We found no significant difference in arterial PSV between ROSC and non-ROSC patients. The PSV of the left femoral artery was most consistently and positively correlated with EtCO
conclusionDetection of arterial peak systolic velocity by point-of-care ultrasound, especially of the left femoral artery, might be a feasible method for non-invasive, real-time monitoring of chest compression effectiveness during CPR.
