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

backgroundOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) carries a high mortality risk. The MIRACLE2 and Cardiac Arrest Hospital Prognosis (CAHP) scores show promise for neurological outcome prediction, but their performance for in-hospital mortality in patients with OHCA-STEMI remains unclear. PROJECT RATIONALE: Accurate early mortality prediction could guide decisions regarding percutaneous coronary intervention and resource allocation in high-risk patients with OHCA-STEMI. PROJECT SUMMARY: We analyzed 120 patients with OHCA-STEMI (2019-2023), comparing MIRACLE2 and CAHP for mortality prediction. Both demonstrated excellent discrimination (MIRACLE2 0.855 vs CAHP AUC 0.878, P = 0.360). Missing data impacted performance, with CAHP more vulnerable than MIRACLE2. In combined modeling, CAHP retained independent significance while MIRACLE2 did not. Traditional cutoffs (MIRACLE2 ≥5, CAHP >200) had high specificity but poor sensitivity (<25%). Patients with either or both scores elevated by traditional cutoffs demonstrated >90% mortality. Derived cutoffs (MIRACLE2 ≥4, CAHP ≥158) improved sensitivity (MIRACLE2 75.9%, CAHP 81.0%). TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: MIRACLE2 and CAHP are strong predictors of mortality in OHCA-STEMI, and using both in parallel improves identification of patients unlikely to benefit from percutaneous coronary intervention.
