Serious complications from active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

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
Complications arising from techniques of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were reviewed by analysing the autopsy protocols of 25 patients who died after standard (Std) CPR and 31 who died after active compression-decompression (ACD) CPR, 15 of them preceded by Std CPR. The results can be summarised as follows: After Std CPR (n = 25) rib fractures were detected in 28%, sternal fractures in 16%, and no injuries in 68%. After ACD-CPR (n = 16) rib fractures occurred in 68%, sternal fractures in 68% and no injuries in 25%. After ACD-CPR following Std CPR(n = 15) rib fractures were detected in 93%, sternal fractures in 93%, and no patients were without thoracic fracture. In two patients severe cardiac injuries occurred clearly attributable to CPR. In conclusion cardiopulmonary resuscitation by the ACD-technique caused rib and sternal fractures more often than Std CPR and has a higher risk for iatrogenic cardiac and possible fatal injury.
