Effect of a smartphone application on dispatcher-assisted CPR and AED response in simulated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 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
Objective: Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and rapid automated external defibrillator (AED) use are key determinants of survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Smartphone applications may enhance dispatcher-assisted CPR (DA-CPR) and facilitate early AED access; however, evidence regarding their effectiveness in standardized simulation settings remains limited. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a smartphone application for DA-CPR and AED response during simulated OHCA. Methods: This randomized simulation-based study was conducted using standardized OHCA scenarios in a controlled simulation environment. Fifty emergency medical dispatch personnel and 190 trained lay responders were randomly assigned to either a smartphone application group or a standard practice group. Primary outcomes were time to CPR initiation and time to first AED shock. Secondary outcomes included time to OHCA recognition, time to scenario completion, and high-quality CPR performance. Outcomes were compared using independent t-tests or Welch's t-tests, as appropriate. Results: Among dispatchers ( Conclusion: In standardized simulated OHCA scenarios, use of the MySOS app was associated with a shorter time to first compression among dispatchers but a longer time to first compression among laypersons. No significant association was observed between MySOS use and time to first shock.
