Pediatric Randomized Clinical Trials in Community Hospitals: Strategies to Enhance Site Participation and Engagement.
Article in Hospital pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveCommunity hospitals provide the majority of inpatient pediatric care in the United States but face significant barriers to conducting research. More equitable research participation across the spectrum of hospital types that deliver inpatient pediatric care can improve pediatric care quality and generalizability of research findings. Thus, we sought to identify strategies to promote community hospital participation in pediatric randomized clinical trials (RCTs).
methodsWe convened an interdisciplinary group of 33 panelists with expertise across clinical roles (eg, physicians, nurses), nonclinical partners (eg, parents, clinical trialists), and practice environments (eg, children's and community hospitals). We conducted 2 rounds of consensus building using the nominal group technique. Panelists brainstormed, discussed, and scored strategies in each round. Round 1 was conducted within small groups to broadly identify potential strategies. Round 2 was conducted as a large group to refine and rescore top strategies. We performed descriptive analyses of scores and qualitative content analysis of identified strategies (including member checking).
resultsPanelists identified 119 ideas in round 1. The 20 highest scoring ideas from round 1 were presented in round 2, where 19 strategies were scored then refined into 14 specific strategies. We identified 3 overarching domains: (1) policy changes in funding prioritization and scientific review guidelines, (2) systems for providing centralized resources, and (3) research design and planning tailored to community hospital participation.
conclusionWe identified 14 strategies for supporting the conduct of pediatric RCTs in community hospitals. Implementing these strategies will require structural changes to RCT design and recruitment for hospitals, funders, and investigators.
