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: Anti-N-Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a condition with high morbidity and mortality despite advancements in resuscitation strategies. Identifying prognostic factors in OHCA patients who achieve a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is critical for optimizing post-resuscitation care and improving survival outcomes. Objective: This study evaluates clinical outcomes and predictors of in-hospital mortality in OHCA patients admitted to a tertiary referral center in Southern Vietnam. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on OHCA patients with ROSC admitted to Cho Ray Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from January 1, 2019, to June 15, 2024. Demographic characteristics, clinical variables, and survival outcomes were analyzed. Predictors of in-hospital mortality were identified through multivariate logistic regression. Results: Among 482 OHCA cases, 86 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 49.1 ± 17.2 years, with a male predominance (79.1%, male-to-female ratio: 3.8:1). Most cardiac arrests were witnessed (84.9%), and 32.5% presented with an initial shockable rhythm. Cardiac etiology was the predominant cause (67.4%). The overall in-hospital survival rate was 44.2%, with 25.6% achieving good neurological outcomes (Cerebral Performance Category [CPC] 1-2). Multivariate analysis identified lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.01-2.00, p = 0.045), decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.00-1.06, p = 0.042), and higher cumulative epinephrine dose (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01-1.19, p < 0.05) as independent predictors of mortality. A predictive model incorporating these variables demonstrated strong discriminatory performance (AUC = 0.91). An epinephrine threshold of 7 mg was identified as a predictor of in-hospital mortality, with a sensitivity of 0.68 and specificity of 0.91. Conclusion: In OHCA patients with ROSC, the in-hospital survival rate was 44.2%, with 25.6% achieving good neurological outcomes (CPC 1-2). Lower GCS scores, reduced eGFR, and higher total epinephrine doses were independently associated with increased mortality. These findings underscore the need for early risk stratification and individualized post-resuscitation management to improve patient outcomes.
