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

objectiveOur objective was to understand the market characteristics related to closures of licensed pediatric hospital beds that may be related to increasing regionalization of pediatric hospital care.

methodsWe performed a retrospective descriptive analysis of 110 hospitals with licensed pediatric hospital beds from a statewide survey of health care facilities (2012-2017) and administrative data of hospital admissions (2013-2018) in Illinois. We quantified closures of licensed pediatric hospital beds and categorized hospital bed closures by hospital and market characteristics.

resultsFrom 2012 through 2017, the number of licensed pediatric beds declined from 1706 to 1254 (-26.5%). Over the same time period, annual pediatric inpatient days minimally changed (+1.1%), while annual pediatric inpatient days at hospitals affiliated with the Children's Hospital Association increased (+30.5%). After accounting for re-openings, the 33 hospitals that closed all licensed pediatric beds fit 4 distinct typologies: 1) Hospitals with minimal pediatric volume throughout the study (n = 19); 2) Hospitals that sustained at least 50% of their pediatric volume after closure of licensed pediatric beds (n = 8); 3) Hospitals with low market share in metropolitan areas (n = 5); and 4) Hospital with a decline in pediatric market share, while a nearby hospital saw a corresponding rise in pediatric market share (n = 1).

conclusionsIn Illinois, licensed pediatric hospital beds declined while pediatrics inpatient days stayed the same over a recent 6-year period. Typologies of closures describe the nuanced dynamics leading to decline of pediatric hospital beds. Understanding these patterns is critical to ensure that children receive quality pediatric-tailored care.
