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

abstractAdvanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) provides a structured approach to the management of cardiac arrest and life-threatening arrhythmias, building on early recognition, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and timely defibrillation. The 2026 Singapore ACLS guidelines present updated, evidence-based recommendations informed by the latest guidance from the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council. Key updates include optimisation of CPR quality, integration of point-of-care ultrasonography, and refined use of pharmacological and electrical therapies during resuscitation. The role of extracorporeal CPR as a rescue strategy in selected patients and the importance of organised post-resuscitation care in improving neurological outcomes are emphasised. Management of tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias is also addressed. Special circumstances, including pulmonary embolism, drowning and cardiac arrest during pregnancy, are discussed. These guidelines aim to standardise practice and improve survival and functional outcomes following cardiac arrest in Singapore.
