Haemodynamic trajectories around prehospital adrenaline infusion start after return of spontaneous circulation.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 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
Background: Post-return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) hypotension is common and associated with worse outcomes, but the immediate haemodynamic response to prehospital adrenaline infusion is poorly described. We examined minute-level blood pressure trajectories around documented infusion initiation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who achieved sustained ROSC and arrived at hospital with a pulse present. Methods: We performed a retrospective linked cohort study of adult emergency medical services-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases in Victoria, Australia, from 2019 to 2023, who achieved sustained ROSC, had available linked ZOLL® monitor-defibrillator data, and arrived at hospital with a pulse present. Patients started on prehospital adrenaline infusion within 60 min of ROSC were included. Minute-level mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) trajectories from 10 min before to 20 min after infusion start were analysed using segmented mixed-effects models adjusted for pre-infusion mean pressure and pre-infusion slope. Results: Of 3655 eligible adult ROSC cases with linked monitor data and pulse present on hospital arrival, 1920 received prehospital adrenaline infusion within 60 min of ROSC. Blood pressure generally declined in the 10 min before infusion, reached a nadir at or near infusion start, and then rose over the next 20 min. In the primary models, MAP fell by 1.64 mmHg/min before infusion and rose by 1.15 mmHg/min after infusion, a slope change of 2.79 mmHg/min (95% CI 2.48-3.09). SBP fell by 2.25 mmHg/min before infusion and rose by 1.71 mmHg/min after infusion, a slope change of 3.96 mmHg/min (95% CI 3.55-4.38). These changes reflected a marked reversal in trajectory around infusion start. Descriptively, mean MAP increased from 81.2 mmHg at 5 min after infusion start to 95.4 mmHg at 20 min, while mean SBP increased from 107.9 to 128.4 mmHg. Conclusions: Documented adrenaline infusion start coincided with reversal of a falling blood pressure trajectory and a sustained rise in MAP and SBP over the next 20 min. These findings help define prehospital post-ROSC adrenaline arterial-pressure responsiveness and support further study of vasopressor timing, targets, and trial design.
