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 American Heart Association (AHA) revised the Pediatric Basic and Advanced Life Support guidelines in 2025 to reflect on the current evidence and best practices. The key changes include a special emphasis on post-cardiac arrest care, prognostication, and survivorship. Other major changes include the elimination of 2-finger chest compressions in infants with a recommendation of compressing the chest with the heel-of-1-hand technique or 2-thumb-encircling hands technique; the preferential and immediate use of an automated external defibrillator with a pediatric attenuator, if available, for cardiac arrest; and in children with severe foreign-body airway obstruction repeated cycles of 5 back blows alternating with 5 abdominal thrusts.
