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

Feedback devices were developed to guide resuscitations as targets recommended by various guidelines are difficult to achieve. Yet, there is limited evidence to support their use for in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCA), and they did not correlate with patient outcomes. Therefore, this study has investigated the compression quality and patient outcomes in IHCA with the use of a feedback device via a retrospective study of inpatient code blue activations in a Singapore hospital over one year. The primary outcome was compression quality and secondary outcomes were survival, downtime and neurological status. 64 of 110 (58.2%) cases were included. Most resuscitations (71.9%) met the recommended chest compression fraction (CCF, defined as the proportion of time spent on compressions during resuscitation) despite overall quality being suboptimal. Greater survival to discharge and better neurological status in resuscitated patients respectively correlated with higher median CCF (p = 0.040 and 0.026 respectively) and shorter downtime (p < 0.001 and 0.001 respectively); independently, a higher CCF correlated with a shorter downtime (p = 0.014). Overall, this study demonstrated that reducing interruptions is crucial for good outcomes in IHCA. However, compression quality remained suboptimal despite feedback device implementation, possibly requiring further simulation training and coaching. Future multicentre studies incorporating these measures should be explored.
