1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: A goal of post-resuscitation care among patients successfully resuscitated from in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is fever avoidance. However, the incidence of post-resuscitation fever after the initial therapeutic hypothermia trials in 2002 and after the Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) trial in 2013 is unknown. Methods: Within the U.S. Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry for IHCA, we identified adults with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Patients with sepsis or COVID-19 were excluded. Temporal trends in post-resuscitation fever (≥100 °F) within 24 h of ROSC following the initial hypothermia trials (2005-2013) and after the TTM trial (2014-2022) were described. Hospital-level variation in post-resuscitation fever rates was assessed for the latter period. Results: Among 41,155 patients, mean age was 64.8 ± 15.0 years, 40.0 % were women, and 68.6 % were White. Overall, 11,745 (28.5 %) had post-resuscitation fever. Annual rates of post-resuscitation fever decreased from 39.1 % in 2005 to 29.0 % in 2013 ( Conclusions: Post-resuscitation fever rates have decreased among patients with IHCA after the initial therapeutic hypothermia trials, but substantial hospital-level variation remains. Our findings highlight potential opportunities for improvement in post-resuscitation care.
