Transforming pediatric healthcare: a decade of innovation in global hospitals (2015-2024).
Article in Pediatric research, 2025. 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
backgroundAs pediatric hospitals continue to grow in innovation, it is important to create a standardized metric to measure this growth and create a network to encourage further innovation. We worked to classify all pediatric hospitals on a scale of innovation with the goal of encouraging collaboration that can lead to more overall innovation.
methodsAll pediatric hospitals worldwide were ranked on a scale of innovation from 1 to 3, with 1 being the most innovative, or "established," and 3 being the least innovative, or "nascent." This scale is based on information found on the hospital's website or in articles about the hospital with regards to their innovation. These hospitals were ranked in 2015, 2020, and between 2023 and 2024 among five different raters.
resultsThe number of worldwide hospitals in each category of innovation was evaluated in 2015, 2020, and 2023-2024. Between 2015 and 2024, there was a 48% decrease in the number of "nascent" hospitals, a 4.5% increase in "emerging" hospitals, and a 120% increase in "established" hospitals.
conclusionThe changes that hospitals have undergone in their respective categories of innovation over the past nine years suggest an overall increase in innovation. IMPACT: Pediatric hospitals worldwide have become more innovative over the past decade, but there is very limited literature that has assessed this trajectory at a broad level. Creating a standardized metric of innovation can promote a culture that enables less innovative hospitals to collaborate with their more innovative counterparts This metric of innovation is the first that we've seen in the literature that assesses all pediatric hospitals on a scale of innovation and tracks their progress over time.
