A comparison of the outcomes of emergency medical service-witnessed cardiac arrest between intravenous access before and after cardiac arrest.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
To identify factors associated with prehospital intravenous access (IVA) in non-minor emergencies and compare the outcomes of emergency medical service (EMS)-witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurring before and after IVA was established. IVA performance varied significantly among prefectures; high performance was associated with a high sensitivity of IVA for subsequent EMS-witnessed OHCA. Cases with a high likelihood of IVA before OHCA included lethal cases, those transported to tertiary emergency hospitals, and medical emergency cases. Among EMS-witnessed OHCA cases, the proportion of hospital transports outside the jurisdiction, physician presence in ambulances, and shockable initial rhythms were higher in patients who received IVA before OHCA than in those who received it afterward. Conversely, incidences of advanced airway management and adrenaline administration were lower. In a multivariate logistic regression model with an interaction test, the neurologically favourable 1-month survival rate was higher in patients who received IVA before OHCA than in those who received it afterward. The impact of IVA before OHCA was more pronounced in OHCA with presumed cardiac aetiology and was negated in cases where prehospital adrenaline was administered. Compared with IVA administered after EMS-witnessed OHCA, IVA performed before OHCA is likely associated with better outcomes.
