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

Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in women remains understudied, often leading to generalised approaches. We aimed to identify sex-specific differences in the clinical profile, risk factors, and causes of SCA to guide targeted interventions. Methods: This prospective population-based study (ReCaPTa) analysed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in a region of Spain (2014-2017). Data were triangulated from Emergency Medical Services, hospital records, and forensic autopsies. SCA was defined as an unexpected cardiac arrest, with a presumed cardiac cause, occurring within 1 h of symptom onset or seen to be alive and well within the last 24 h. Results: Of 639 SCA cases, 191 (29.9%) were women. Compared with men, women were older (74 vs 66 years, Conclusion: Compared with men, women with SCA exhibited a disproportionately higher burden of PE and a greater involvement of psychotropic drugs and toxic substances.
