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

introductionIn this article, we aim to study the effects of racial disparities on inpatient cardiac arrest (IPCA) outcomes in the USA.

methodsWe have utilized the 2021 National Inpatient Sample, an all-payer inpatient database based in the USA, to identify IPCA nationwide. Multivariate linear and logistic regressions were performed to study the effects of racial and socioeconomic disparities on IPCA. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality, and secondary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), total hospital charges (THC), discharge to subacute rehab, and rates of advanced cardiac interventions. We have additionally performed subgroup analysis looking into healthcare utilization based on mortality in the predefined races.

resultsWe identified 177,645 IPCAs, with 133,995 (75.4%) resulting in inpatient mortality. Using the White population as a reference, the Hispanic population had the highest rates of inpatient mortality, with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 1.57 (CI 1.43-1.72), followed by the unassigned races, aOR of 1.31 (CI 1.17-1.47), the Black population with an aOR of 1.24 (CI 1.16-1.33), and the Asian population with an aOR of 1.16 (CI 1.01-1.33). Among the secondary outcomes tested, the Black population had the highest LOS, and the Hispanic patients had the highest THC.

conclusionsWe underscore the potential effects of racial disparities on IPCA outcomes. Further studies should be directed towards narrowing the disparity gaps and providing equal care in IPCA among different races and social classes.
