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

purposeWe sought to describe the processes undertaken for the systematic selection and consensus determination of the common data elements for inclusion in a national pediatric critical care database in Canada.

methodsWe conducted a multicentre Delphi consensus study of Canadian pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) participating in the creation of a national database. Participants were PICU health care professionals, allied health professionals, caregivers, and other stakeholders. A dedicated panel group created a baseline survey of data elements based on literature, current PICU databases, and expertise in the field. The survey was then used for a Delphi iterative consensus process over three rounds, conducted from March to June 2021.

resultsOf 86 invited participants, 68 (79%) engaged and agreed to participate as part of an expert panel. Panel participants were sent three rounds of the survey with response rates of 62 (91%), 61 (90%) and 55 (81%), respectively. After three rounds, 72 data elements were included from six domains, mostly reflecting clinical status and complex medical interventions received in the PICU. While race, gender, and home region were included by consensus, variables such as minority status, indigenous status, primary language, and ethnicity were not.

conclusionWe present the methodological framework used to select data elements by consensus for a national pediatric critical care database, with participation from a diverse stakeholder group of experts and caregivers from all PICUs in Canada. The selected core data elements will provide standardized and synthesized data for research, benchmarking, and quality improvement initiatives of critically ill children.
