Effect of Compression Rotation Intervals on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Archives of academic emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07624851 (One-Minute Versus Two-Minute Compressor Rotation During Simulated Pediatric CPR), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Introduction: Reducing the compression rotation interval from 2 to 1 minute is expected to improve cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effect of altering the compression rotation interval on key CPR quality parameters, including compression depth, rate, and rescuer fatigue. Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials from their inception to May 15, 2025. We searched for randomized controlled trials, simulation studies, and crossover studies that compared 1-min and 2-min compression rotation times. The assessed outcomes included compression depth, rate, correctness, and rescuer fatigue, which were reported as the standard mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results: One randomized controlled trial and seven randomized crossover studies, involving 668 rescuers in total, using manikins, were included. The 1-min rotation group exhibited significantly greater compression depth, with an increase of 2.06 mm (SMD = 2.06, 95% CI: 0.44-3.68, Conclusion: It seems that altering the chest compression rotation interval from 2 min to 1 min improves the compression depth and reduces rescuer fatigue. However, parameters, such as the compression rate and compression adequacy, remained unchanged. Notably, all the studies were conducted on manikins, thus necessitating further research to assess the applicability of these changes in real-world clinical settings.
