Effectiveness of a smartwatch-based feedback system in improving cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality: a simulation 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
Background High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical determinant of survival in cardiac arrest. Although current guidelines endorse the use of feedback devices to improve CPR performance, their limited availability in clinical settings poses a significant barrier. To address this gap, we developed a CPR feedback application for smartwatches, leveraging wearable technology to provide real-time, user-friendly guidance for chest compressions. Our study was to assess whether a commercially available smartwatch could function effectively as a real-time CPR feedback device and improve compression quality. Methods In this single-center, sequential trial, 90 healthcare professionals performed two 2-minute sessions of chest compressions on a manikin, separated by a 2-minute rest. The first session was performed without feedback, and the second using the VIMO feedback application integrated into an Apple Watch Series 9. The primary outcome was the Overall Performance Score, a composite of rate and depth effectiveness. Results Use of the smartwatch-based feedback system significantly improved CPR quality. The Overall Performance Score increased from a median of 82.5 % (IQR 49.0-97.0) without feedback to 97.0 % (IQR 80.0-99.0) with the device (
