Multidisciplinary Consensus on Curricular Priorities for Pediatric Neurocritical Care Nursing Education: A Modified Delphi Study in the United States.
Article in Neurocritical care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNurses are vital partners in the development of pediatric neurocritical care (PNCC) programs. Nursing expertise is acknowledged to be an integral component of high-quality specialty patient care in the field, but little guidance exists regarding educational requirements to build that expertise. We sought to obtain expert consensus from nursing professionals and physicians on curricular priorities for specialized PNCC nursing education in pediatric centers across the United States.
methodsWe used a modified Delphi study technique surveying a multidisciplinary expert panel of nursing professionals and physicians. Online surveys were distributed to 44 panelists over three rounds to achieve consensus on curricular topics deemed essential for PNCC nursing education. During each round, panelists were asked to rate topics as essential or not essential, as well as given opportunities to provide feedback and suggest changes. Feedback was shared anonymously to the panelist group throughout the process.
resultsFrom 70 initial individual topics, the consensus process yielded 19 refined topics that were confirmed to be essential for a PNCC nursing curriculum by the expert panel. Discrepancies existed regarding how universally to recommend topics of advanced neuromonitoring, such as brain tissue oxygenation; specialized neurological assessments, such as the serial neurological assessment in pediatrics or National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; and some disease-based populations. Panelists remarked that not all centers see specific diseases, and not all centers currently employ advanced neuromonitoring technologies and skills.
conclusionsWe report 19 widely accepted curricular priorities that can serve as a standard educational base for PNCC nursing. Developing education for nurses in PNCC will complement PNCC programs with targeted nursing expertise that extends comprehensive specialty care to the bedside. Further work is necessary to effectively execute educational certification programs, implement nursing standards in the field, and evaluate the impact of nursing expertise on patient care and outcomes.
