Epidemiology and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests treated by an anaesthetist-staffed emergency medical service: a 3-year registry analysis in The Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region.

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
Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) presents significant regional variations in incidence, management, and survival rates. The Friuli-Venezia-Giulia (FVG) region in northeastern Italy has established a cardiac arrest registry to evaluate epidemiological trends and the effectiveness of its emergency medical service (EMS) interventions. This study analyses EMS-treated OHCAs over a three-year period, focusing on patient characteristics, resuscitation practices, and survival outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using prospectively collected data from the FVG-OHCA registry between January 2021-December 2023. All adult OHCAs where resuscitation was attempted by EMS were included. Demographics, OHCA characteristics, bystander interventions, EMS response and treatments, and outcomes were analysed. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with survival to hospital admission, six-month survival, and good neurological recovery (Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 1-2). Results: A total of 4,089 OHCA cases were recorded, with an incidence of 113/100,000 inhabitants/year. Although bystander CPR rate was 67%, public AED use was low (4.3%). Resuscitation was attempted by EMS in 48% of cases, and an advanced airway was placed in 75% of patients. Survival to hospital admission was 22.9%, while six-month survival was 9.7%, and 7.6% of patients had a CPC 1-2. Younger age, male gender, shockable rhythm, and public location were associated with long-term survival. High-quality bystander CPR, use of mechanical CPR, and advanced airway placement during CPR were associated only with survival to hospital admission. Conclusions: This study provides comprehensive insights into OHCA epidemiology and outcomes in the FVG region and emphasises the importance of early intervention, high-quality bystander CPR, and specialised prehospital care.
