Racial disparities, comorbidities, and low body mass index reduce survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Introduction: CPR is crucial for the management of cardiac arrest. However, the impacts of certain individualized factors, such as different ethnicities, body weights, and medical histories, on the efficacy of CPR remain unclear. This meta-analysis clarifies the associations between three individualized factors and the outcomes of CPR, aiming to optimize resuscitation strategies. Methods: We systematically searched eight databases-PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, VIP, Wan Fang, and CNKI-for studies that explored the associations between ethnicity, past medical history, body mass index (BMI), and CPR outcomes. Separate meta-analyses were then conducted for each of these three individualized factors. Results: Eleven studies evaluated ethnicity, nine assessed medical history, and eight analyzed BMI. White patients exhibited significantly higher survival rates than Black patients (OR = 1.36, 95% CI [1.22-1.50], Discussion: This study demonstrates that ethnicity differences, pre-existing comorbidities, and low BMI can affect survival rates after CPR. These results are of great significance for clinical practice, suggesting that it is necessary to reduce inequalities in the distribution of medical resources in response to racial differences, optimize disease management for patients with comorbidities, and incorporate underweight status into high-risk assessment. Future research should further explore the underlying mechanisms and expand to more regions, so as to provide evidence for the construction of a personalized resuscitation medicine system and the formulation of guidelines.
