Do rescuer body mass index and smoking habits affect cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality?: A manikin simulation study in nurses.
Trial report in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Some of the professions that require the knowledge and the ability to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) include physicians, nurses, paramedics, and firefighters. While firefighters are expected to meet certain criteria for body mass index (BMI), height, and weight to be recruited, medical professionals are not expected to meet such criteria. However, some studies have demonstrated that anthropometric variables affect the quality of CPR. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of sex, age, BMI, and smoking habits in CPR practitioners on the quality of CPR. This study was planned as a prospective study. It was conducted with 104 nurses in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital. Participants were randomly assigned to groups of 2 members. Each of the 2 members in the group took turns to perform CPR for 2 minutes. Participants' performance of CPR was recorded using the TrueCPR device. Of the 70 participants who were performed suboptimal CPR, 40 were in the nonsmoking group. Furthermore, 34 participants who were found to perform optimal CPR had a mean BMI of 23.6 (21.2-26.0) kg/m2. Height, weight, and BMI values were found to have statistical significance in optimal CPR. According to the study, low BMI is associated with suboptimal CPR.
