Comparing definitions of a pediatric emergency department.

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
objectiveHealth services research on the differences in care between pediatric and general emergency departments (EDs) is limited by ambiguity regarding the definition of a pediatric ED. Our goal was to determine the proportion of EDs captured by commonly used definitions of pediatric ED.
methodsWe linked data for 2016 from two databases from New York State - the State Emergency Department Database and State Inpatient Database (SEDD/SID) and the National Emergency Department Inventory-USA (NEDI-USA). We examined the following 4 common definitions of pediatric ED: (1) admission capability, (2) physically distinct pediatric area in the ED, (3) membership in the Children's Hospital Association, and (4) volume of pediatric ED visits (patients <18 years ). We calculated the proportion of EDs that would be defined as pediatric for each criterion. We also examined the differences in patient demographics among pediatric EDs based on each criterion.
resultsA total of 160 New York EDs were included in the linked databases. Across the 4 criteria, the proportion of EDs meeting the definition of DISCUSSION: The number of EDs and characteristics of patients seen varied widely based on the criterion used to define pediatric ED. Database linkage may make it challenging to identify pediatric hospitals in administrative data sets. A valid, standard definition of pediatric ED is critically needed to advance health services research.
