Supervision of Pediatric Anesthesia After-Hours: A Survey of Pediatric Anesthetists in Australia and New Zealand.
Article in Paediatric anaesthesia, 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
backgroundAfter-hours pediatric anesthesia may pose increased risks, with a heightened potential for sudden cardio-respiratory decline. While mortality rates are low in Australia and New Zealand, critical events and morbidity occur more frequently and present ongoing challenges. However, little is known about how trainees are supervised during these high-risk periods.
methodsAn anonymized online survey of members of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia in New Zealand and Australia (SPANZA) was conducted to explore supervising anesthetists attitudes towards after-hours supervision. The survey examined the influence of patient age, medical history, trainee experience, and surgery type on supervision practices.
resultsRespondents identified age and physical status as key risk factors but reported providing less direct supervision than recommended by international studies, especially for non-complex surgeries in healthy children. Trainee experience was a significant factor in supervision decisions.
conclusionPediatric anesthetists in Australia and New Zealand recognize major risk factors but tend to supervise more remotely after-hours. Further research is needed to evaluate the effects of these supervision practices on outcomes.
