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

Objectives: To determine if end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational, video review-based study in a pediatric emergency department. Children <18 years with OHCA from March 2021 to August 2022 were included. We collected ETCO Results: Fifty patients presented with OHCA, and 30 were included yielding 380 total epochs. Compression quality was low in 35 epochs, marginal in 196 epochs, adequate in 139 epochs, and optimal in 10 epochs. There was no significant association between ETCO Conclusion: In our small, single-center study, we found ETCO
