Singapore Basic Cardiac Life Support and Automated External Defibrillation Guidelines 2026.
Article in Singapore medical journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
abstractBasic cardiac life support and automated external defibrillation refer to the skills required for resuscitation of a cardiac arrest casualty. On recognising cardiac arrest, the rescuer should call '995' for an ambulance and start cardiopulmonary resuscitation. High-quality chest compressions are performed with the arms extended, elbows locked, shoulders directly perpendicular over the casualty's chest and the heel of the palm placed on the lower half of the sternum. The rescuer compresses to a depth of 4-6 cm for adults, at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute, allowing complete chest recoil after each compression. Two quick ventilations of 400-600 mL each are delivered via a bag-valve-mask (or mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-mask if trained and able) after 30 chest compressions (or 15 chest compressions for casualties under 12 years of age). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be stopped when the casualty regains consciousness, the emergency team takes over care, or when an automated external defibrillator analyses the heart rhythm or delivers a shock.
