Simultaneously implementing pathways for improving asthma, pneumonia, and bronchiolitis care for hospitalized children: Protocol for a hybrid effectiveness-implementation, cluster-randomized trial.
Article in Journal of hospital medicine, 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
backgroundAsthma, pneumonia, and bronchiolitis are the top causes of childhood hospitalization in the United States, leading to over 350,000 hospitalizations and ≈$2 billion in costs annually. The majority of these hospitalizations occur in general/community hospitals. Poor guideline adoption by clinicians contributes to poor health outcomes for children hospitalized with these illnesses, including longer recovery time/hospital stay, higher rates of intensive care unit transfer, and increased risk of hospital readmission. A prior single-center study at a children's hospital tested a multicondition clinical pathway intervention (simultaneous implementation of multiple pathways for multiple pediatric conditions) and demonstrated improved clinician guideline adherence and patient health outcomes. This intervention has not yet been studied in community hospitals, which face unique implementation barriers.
objectiveTo study the implementation and effectiveness of a multicondition pathway intervention for children hospitalized with asthma, pneumonia, or bronchiolitis in community hospitals.
methodsWe will conduct a pragmatic, hybrid effectiveness-implementation, cluster-randomized trial in community hospitals around the United States (1:1 randomization to intervention vs. wait-list control). Our primary outcome will be the adoption of two to three evidence-based practices for each condition over a sustained period of 2 years. Secondary outcomes include hospital length of stay, ICU transfer, and readmission. DISCUSSION: This hybrid trial will lead to a comprehensive understanding of how to pragmatically and sustainably implement a multicondition pathway intervention in community hospitals and an assessment of its effects. Enrollment began in July 2022 and is projected to be completed in September 2024. Primary analysis completion is anticipated in March 2025, with reporting of results following.
