Changes in the rate of do-not-attempt-resuscitation orders in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a comparative study between 2019 and 2023.
Article in Journal of rural medicine : JRM, 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
Objective: Japan has the highest aging rate globally, with 29.1% of its population aged ≥65 years; however, the concepts of do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) and advance care planning (ACP) are less prevalent than in other countries. We aimed to survey DNAR orders in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and compare them with previous surveys to examine changes in end-of-life care. Methods: This prospective study examined all OHCA cases attended to by the Sagamihara City Fire Department between May 30, 2023, and February 15, 2024. Data were collected through emergency services and compared with those of a similar 2019 survey. Results: The 2023 OHCA survey included 513 patients, a 25.9% increase from 2019. The mean age was 75.9 ± 15.1 years, similar to 2019 (74.9±17.7 years, Conclusion: This study revealed a decrease in OHCA cases involving DNAR declarations during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting a positive shift toward respecting individual dignity owing to increased ACP. However, certain DNAR cases still undergo resuscitation and transport, highlighting the need for legal DNAR protocol implementation to reduce emergency-setting challenges.
