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

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with iatrogenic complications, including thoracic and intra-abdominal injuries. We present two cases of post-resuscitation hemodynamic instability caused by intra-abdominal hemorrhage. In the first case, hemoperitoneum from splenic injury was rapidly identified using point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS), prompting emergent surgical intervention. In the second case, a hepatic hematoma resulted in extrinsic compression of the right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV), producing extracardiac tamponade physiology confirmed with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). These cases highlight the importance of early multimodal imaging in patients with unexplained shock following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). These complications are relevant to anesthesiologists and intensivists, who are frequently responsible for the perioperative and critical care management of patients following cardiac arrest.
