Eligibility and hypothetical time windows for eCPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients managed by a nationwide helicopter-emergency medical service: A multicentric, retrospective cohort 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 determine the proportion of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, who fulfilled eligibility criteria for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) on scene and were managed by a national helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS). Additionally, we compared estimated time intervals from collapse until hypothetical eCPR for the scenarios of on scene and in-hospital eCPR. Methods: This multicentre, retrospective study included 6687 non-traumatic OHCA patients (01/2010-12/2019). Time intervals from collapse until hypothetical eCPR were calculated using measured, published or estimated data. Results: ECPR eligibility criteria were fulfilled in 890 [13.3 % (95 %CI, 12.5-14.2 %)] of 6687 patients. In these patients, the estimated time from collapse to hypothetical eCPR was shorter in the on scene than the in-hospital eCPR scenario (42.2 ± 5.2 vs. 82.4 ± 6.1 min, Conclusion: In Austrian HEMS, one in seven OHCA patients fulfilled eCPR eligibility criteria on scene. Our estimates strongly suggest that initiation of eCPR on scene could significantly shorten low-flow times and increase the proportion of eligible OHCA patients, who receive this potentially life-saving intervention.
