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

Background: Children with medical complexity (CMC) have unique specialized needs accessing and receiving care in paediatric hospitals. Objectives: To identify the organizational resources available for the care of CMC in Canadian tertiary care paediatric hospitals and to assess key informants' understanding of how these resources are adapted to CMC's needs. Methods: For this environmental scan, key informants representing paediatric hospital medicine/complex care (PHM/CC) and paediatric emergency medicine (PEM) from all 15 Canadian tertiary care paediatric hospitals completed questionnaires. Participants were identified through national research networks. Following Burns methodology, two novel survey tools were developed and administered via a teleconference or electronically. Results: From September 2023 to June 2024, one key informant from PHM/CC and one from PEM responded from each site ( Conclusions: Most Canadian paediatric tertiary care hospitals have a CC program, but their resources and availability vary. There are many opportunities for improvement for the ED and inpatient care of CMC.
