Thoracic injuries related to mechanical and manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the emergency department: a retrospective cohort study.
Observational study in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The aim of this study was to compare thoracic injuries associated with mechanical and manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) methods. Methods: This single-center, retrospective observational cohort study included adult patients who underwent CPR and had post-resuscitation thoracic imaging and/or autopsy findings available. Demographic data (age, gender), type of CPR (mechanical or manual), duration of resuscitation, and thoracic injury patterns were extracted from hospital records. The recorded injuries included rib fractures, sternum fractures, clavicle fractures, scapula fractures, pulmonary contusions, pneumothorax, hemothorax, cardiac tamponade, myocardial hematoma or rupture, vertebral fractures, and mortality. Results: A total of 50 patients underwent mechanical CPR and 66 patients underwent manual CPR. CPR duration was similar between the mechanical and manual CPR groups (40.18 ± 4.83 Conclusion: While rib fractures were more frequently seen in manual CPR, lung contusions were more commonly associated with mechanical CPR. These differences in injury patterns may have implications in determining the type of CPR administered during post-mortem examinations.
