A comparative study of targeted end-tidal carbon dioxide versus standard management to guide resuscitation in emergency department cardiac arrest in Thailand: study protocol for a three-arm randomised controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 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
backgroundCardiac arrest managed in the emergency department (ED) is associated with suboptimal survival outcomes. End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO
methodsThis is a single-centre, three-arm, single-blind, superiority randomised controlled trial conducted in the ED of Thammasat University Hospital, Pathum Thani, Thailand. Eligible participants are patients with ED cardiac arrest, including out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients receiving CPR in the ED and patients with first in-hospital cardiac arrest occurring in the ED. Exclusion criteria include age < 15 years, traumatic cardiac arrest, a do-not-attempt-resuscitation order, and signs of irreversible death. Post-randomisation exclusions include inability to obtain EtCO DISCUSSION: This trial will evaluate whether higher absolute or patient-specific EtCO
