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

The 2025 Korean education and system implementation guidelines were updated using a structured evidence evaluation process and recent systematic reviews. The guidelines present a comprehensive update that aims to bridge the gap between educational theory and clinical performance and emphasize the transition toward high-fidelity, field-based training environments through the implementation of in situ simulation and rapid cycle deliberate practice to foster automaticity in high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and team coordination. The integration of real-time feedback devices during training and the adoption of structured "hot" and "cold" debriefing to maximize learning outcomes are critical shifts in this update. Furthermore, these guidelines enhance teamwork competency by recommending the integration of a dedicated CPR coach within the hospital code team. Despite acknowledging the potential of digital health, a cautious approach toward gamified and blended learning is maintained. The guidelines prioritize face-to-face instruction to ensure psychomotor proficiency. From a policy perspective, the 2025 update removes the prehospital termination of resuscitation criteria in alignment with domestic legal constraints and social consensus. In addition to context-based training strategies within hospitals, we discussed the mandatory age for CPR training. We also added recommendations to address the "decoupling" between high automated external defibrillator awareness and low bystander utilization rates in the prehospital setting. In conclusion, the 2025 Korean guidelines emphasize repetitive, evidence-based educational methods and systematic policy refinements to enhance resuscitation quality and survival outcomes across clinical and community settings.
