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

backgroundAlthough many people are involved in the optimal use of a medication within this process, the use of medications carries risks of adverse events, which are greater in the pediatric population because of many factors.

objectiveIn this context, our aim was to develop a consensus-based list of criteria for the safety of the pediatric medication-use process or circuit (referred to from now on as the CIRCUS tool: CIRcuit-of-Child-drug-USe).

settingMulticenter with a trio of experts from eight university hospitals.

methodsA literature search (1998-2013) was conducted in order to identify the different safety practice domains for the pediatric medication use process. Twenty-six safety practice domains were identified and 48 compliance criteria were formulated. In order to reach a consensus on the most relevant compliance criteria for safety practices, an international 24 French-speaking multidisciplinary panelists (8 doctors, 8 pharmacists and 8 nurses) selected to represent a broad range of experience levels and specialties took part in a two round Delphi survey which was conducted between March and July 2013. Each panelist was asked to rate each proposed criterion on a 1-9 Likert scale in order to show their level of agreement (i.e. 1 reflects strong disagreement and 9 reflects strong agreement).

main outcome measureDevelopment of a consensus-base list for safety practices in pediatrics.

resultsTwenty-two of the 24 professionals invited to take part in this survey (92% participation rate) completed the two Delphi rounds. At the end of the two Delphi rounds, a total of 38/48 (79%) safety practice compliance criteria achieved consensus by the panelists. The criteria were grouped into 23 domains.

conclusionThis study presents the development of a self-assessment tool for safety practices in the pediatric drug-use process using a Delphi method. This tool may be used in order to record and compare the prevalence of best safety practices in the pediatric drug-use process.
