An update on the impact of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation on favorable neurological outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest accounting for effect modification by witnessed arrest: a post hoc analysis of the SOS-KANTO 2017 study.

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
Aim: To investigate the role of witnessed arrest as an effect modifier on neurological outcomes following bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: This cohort study was conducted using an OHCA patient registry collected between September 2019 and March 2021 in Japan. The effect modification by witnessed arrest was analyzed using additive and multiplicative interactions with risk adjustment. The main outcome was a cerebral performance category of 1 or 2 at 30 days after OHCA. Results: A total of 7496 patients from 42 hospitals were analyzed. Witnessed arrest and bystander CPR occurred in 3053 (40.7 %) and 3152 (42.0 %) patients, respectively. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) of witnessed arrest and bystander CPR for favorable neurological outcomes was 11.36 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 7.10-18.17). The ORs for bystander CPR within each stratum of witnessed arrest were 2.38 (95 % CI: 1.34-4.24) for non-witnessed arrest and 3.80 (95 % CI: 2.61-5.55) for witnessed arrest. The additive interaction was 7.01 (95 % CI: 3.34-10.68) and the multiplicative interaction was 1.60 (95 % CI: 0.80-3.17). In the non-home arrest setting, bystander CPR had an adjusted OR of 1.23 (95 % CI: 0.58-2.62) for non-witnessed arrest and 2.77 (95 % CI: 1.69-4.53) for witnessed arrest. The additive interaction was 4.98 (95 % CI: 1.67-8.29) and the multiplicative interaction was 2.25 (95 % CI: 0.91-5.53). Conclusions: The interaction effect of bystander CPR and witnessed arrest exhibited the second strongest form of interaction. The non-significant effect of bystander CPR in non-witnessed arrest in the non-home cardiac arrest setting warrants further investigation.
