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

Background: The R-EDByUS score predicts 1-month neurological outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, considering prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We aimed to externally validate the R-EDByUS scoring system in Taiwanese patients who experienced OHCA. Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted at the National Taiwan University Hospital and its affiliated branches, including adult patients who experienced non-traumatic OHCA, from January 2016 to December 2023. We assessed the performance of the R-EDByUS scoring system in predicting unfavorable neurological outcomes (Cerebral Performance Category scores: 3-5) at hospital discharge. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, and calibration curves were used to evaluate the model's performance in the two cohorts. Results: A total of 3417 patients were included and divided into prehospital ROSC ( Conclusion: With only prehospital variables, the R-EDByUS scoring system showed good performance in Taiwanese OHCA patients for prehospital ROSC group. However, further studies are warranted before the score can be applied clinically in the ongoing CPR cohort.
