Outcomes of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit: A Single-Center, Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundThe study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among patients who suffered cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit (ICU).
methodsWe carried out a single-center study. Retrospective hospital records were reviewed for patients admitted to the ICU from January 2020 to May 2022. Data included patient demographics, reason for ICU admission, presence of comorbidities, rhythm at arrest, achievement of return of spontaneous circulation, number of CPR attempts, cause of arrest, use of inotropes/vasopressors before arrest, do-not-resuscitate (DNR) status, and survival rate.
resultsA total of 544 patients were admitted to the ICU during the study period. Seventy-five patients suffered cardiac arrest. CPR was conducted in 59 patients. Sixteen patients were declared DNR before cardiac arrest occurred. Only one patient survived among those who received CPR. Quantitative data were expressed in numbers, while the Mid-P exact test was the test of significance to determine the relationship between the use of inotropes/vasopressors before arrest and survival of the patients.
conclusionsOf 59 patients who received CPR, only one patient (1.7%) made it to hospital discharge, indicating a very poor survival rate for critically ill patients.
