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

Objective: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity, defined as the coexistence of ≥2 of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and hyperlipidemia, is increasingly prevalent and may adversely influence outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We evaluated the association between cardiometabolic multimorbidity and short-term OHCA outcomes in a national cohort. Methods: Using the national OHCA registry, we analyzed adult, non-traumatic OHCAs in Singapore between 2010 and 2021, excluding cases occurring in healthcare facilities or ambulances. Our primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge; secondary outcomes included pre-hospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to hospital admission and discharge with good neurological outcome. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations between cardiometabolic multimorbidity and outcomes, adjusting for prespecified Utstein covariates. Results: Among 20,475 patients (median age 70 years, 63.7% males), 60.2% had cardiometabolic multimorbidity. It was associated with lower odds of pre-hospital ROSC (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.78, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.68-0.88) and survival to hospital discharge (aOR 0.78, 95% CI 0.64-0.96), but not survival to hospital admission (aOR 0.95, 95% CI 0.67-1.05) or discharge with good neurological outcome (aOR 0.90, 95% CI 0.68-1.19). We observed worse outcomes with increasing numbers of cardiometabolic conditions, most evident for pre-hospital ROSC ( Conclusion: In this national OHCA cohort, cardiometabolic multimorbidity independently predicted lower pre-hospital ROSC and survival to hospital discharge, with a graded decline in outcomes with increasing disease burden. These findings underscore the importance of upstream prevention of cardiometabolic disease to improve both OHCA incidence and survival.
