Association of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Level with Clinical Outcome in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Emergency Department Patients.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesB-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is used for outcome assessment of various diseases. We designed this study to investigate whether BNP, which has been proven useful in the risk stratification of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) of cardiac etiology, can also prove to be a valuable prognostic tool for SCA also included with non-cardiac etiology. In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between measured BNP levels and clinical outcomes in SCA, regardless of the cause of SCA.
methodsThis retrospective multicenter observational study was performed in two tertiary university hospitals and one general hospital between January 2015 and December 2020. The total number of SCA patients was 1625. The patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest over 19 years old and acquired laboratory data, including BNP at emergency department (ED) arrival, were included. BNP was measured during advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). The exclusion criteria were age under 18 years, traumatic arrest, and without BNP.
resultsThe median BNP was 171.8 (range; 5-5000) pg/mL in the return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), higher than No-ROSC (
conclusionIn patients with SCA of all origins, low BNP concentration measured during ACLS correlated with an increased ratio of survival to discharge. However, BNP measured during ACLS was not found to be an independent factor.
