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

backgroundDrowning-associated cardiac arrest is associated with high mortality and poor neurological outcomes. The appropriate prognosis prediction and determination of a treatment plan are crucial. CASE PRESENTATION: A 19-year-old Japanese male was playing in a river. His friend found him drowning and immediately pulled him out. He experienced cardiac arrest. His friend called for emergency services and performed bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. When the emergency service later arrived at the scene, the patient was in a state of return of spontaneous circulation. The patient was transported to our hospital by air ambulance. He was subsequently admitted to the intensive care unit and later discharged without residual higher brain dysfunction as a result of multidisciplinary treatment, including venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO).

conclusionsIn drowning-associated cardiac arrest with rapidly progressive hypoxemia, early initiation of V-V ECMO as part of comprehensive post-cardiac arrest management may contribute to favorable neurological outcomes.
