Innovation in intensive care: a framework to turn ideas and concepts into actionable solutions.
Review in Intensive care medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionIntensive care is under increasing pressure due to demographic changes, availability of new complex therapies, and workforce shortages, resulting in a relative reduction in resources. Technological advances such as digitalization, wearable sensors, and artificial intelligence promise to improve care delivery, enabling providers to offer equal or higher-quality care at lower costs. However, no healthcare system has yet demonstrated large-scale gains in the efficiency of intensive care delivery. A central requirement is the capacity to translate ideas and concepts into value, providing changes that make services, products, and optimal care more accessible and affordable to a larger population, generating value. Innovation should thus be acknowledged as a fourth principal pillar of intensive care, alongside clinical excellence, research, and teaching.
methodsThis paper presents the opinion of a multidisciplinary expert panel, proposing a framework to support the generation, implementation, and evaluation of innovation in intensive care.
resultsWe identify and examine key areas and applications where innovation is urgently needed, including workforce development, technology adoption, environmental sustainability, and the transformation of medical education. We also highlight barriers and concerns that must be addressed when implementing innovation in ICUs. We integrate these into a comprehensive framework illustrated through concrete examples. Finally, we argue that innovation should not be driven solely by academia or industry, but strategically led by healthcare professionals and patients' representatives, grounded in ethics and data, interdisciplinary, and centered on patients' and society's needs.
conclusionThis framework offers a pathway for innovation, supporting a more inclusive, effective, and sustainable future for intensive care.
