The epidemiology and outcomes of adult in-hospital cardiac arrest in a high-income developing country.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Aim: In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (IHCA) is a significant burden on healthcare worldwide. Outcomes of IHCA are worse in developing countries compared with developed ones. We aimed to study the epidemiology and factors determining outcomes in adult IHCA in a high income developing country. Methods: We abstracted prospectively collected data of adult patients admitted to our institution over a three-year period who suffered a cardiac arrest. We analysed patient demographics, arrest characteristics, including response time, initial rhythm and code duration. Pre-arrest vital signs, primary diagnoses, discharge and functional status, were obtained from the patients' electronic medical records. Results: A total of 447 patients were studied. The IHCA rate was 8.6/1000 hospital admissions. Forty percent (40%) achieved ROSC with an overall survival to discharge rate of 10.8%, of which 59% had a good functional outcome, with a cerebral performance category score of 1 or 2. Fifty-four percent (54%) of patients had IHCA attributed to causes other than cardiac or respiratory. Admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), shockable rhythm and short code duration were significantly associated with survival (p < 0.001). Conclusion: A combination of patient and system-related factors, such as the underlying cause of cardiac arrest and a lack of DNAR policy, may explain the reduced survival rate in our setting compared with developed countries.
