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

Advances in pediatric research have improved the lives of infants, children, adolescents, and society at large. A decade ago the American Academy of Pediatrics identified seven research achievements in the past 40 years that reduced morbidity and mortality worldwide: preventing disease with life-saving immunizations, reducing sudden infant death with "Back to Sleep," curing Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, helping premature babies breathe with surfactant, preventing Human Immunodeficiency Virus transmission from mother to baby, increasing life expectancy for children with Sickle Cell Anemia and Cystic Fibrosis, and saving lives with car seats and seat belts. This follow-up article forecasts the next great achievements in pediatric research and highlights what is needed to continue progress. The pediatric scientific community identified 10 areas of high research promise: genomics; mental and behavioral health; vaccines; artificial intelligence and digital health; perinatal health, including fetal medicine; precision and targeted therapeutics; social determinants of health; nutrition; environmental health; and advances in cancer treatment. Advances in each of these areas are already improving health outcomes. Amid increasing public distrust in science, celebrating scientific progress and committing to continued investment are critical to improving the health of children and the adults they will become. IMPACT: Advances in pediatric research have improved the lives of infants, children, adolescents, and society at large. The pediatric scientific community identified 10 exciting pediatric research breakthroughs on the horizon, which are reviewed in this article. Amid increasing public distrust in science, celebrating scientific progress and committing to continued investment are critical to improving the health of children and the adults they will become.
