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: Sudden death due to cardiorespiratory arrest has a high mortality rate and often occurs outside hospital settings. Prompt initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by bystanders, along with the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), has been shown to double survival rates. Given the challenges of ensuring timely emergency response in rural areas, implementing basic CPR training programs can help improve survival outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of online CPR-AED training delivered to participants from a rural area of Camp de Tarragona. Methods: This quasi-experimental study consisted of 2 phases: phase 1, evaluation of the effectiveness of online training on CPR-AED knowledge (with pretest and posttest assessments), and phase 2, evaluation of the effectiveness of online training on CPR-AED maneuvers through simulation at 1 month and 6 months after online training. The sample of the study comprised residents in a rural area of Tarragona, Spain. A descriptive statistical analysis of the study population was conducted. For quantitative data with a nonnormal distribution, the median and IQR were presented. Categorical data were described as frequencies and percentages. A bivariate analysis was performed to compare the pretraining and posttraining quantitative variables using the Student 2-tailed t test. Results: In total, 55 participants were included in the study. Of these, 74.5% (n=55) were women, the mean age was 41.5 (SD 9.1) years, and 94.5% (n=55) were employed. Overall, 52 participants completed the online training. The median time required to complete the course was 261.5 (IQR 935; range 125-327) minutes. In total, 51 participants took part in the first practical simulation, which was conducted 1 month after the theoretical training. The mean score obtained in this first simulation was 7.5 out of 10. Six months after the theoretical training, 46 participants completed a second simulation. Conclusions: Online CPR-AED training is effective in improving CPR-AED knowledge and skills in a rural population in the short and medium term.
