The Kids Pain Collaborative: A Hybrid Type 3 Implementation Effectiveness Study Transforming Paediatric Pain Care in the Emergency Department.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 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
aimTo evaluate the impact of a participatory, action-oriented implementation study, guided by the integrated Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services framework, for optimising pain care processes in a tertiary paediatric emergency department.
designHybrid type 3 implementation effectiveness.
methodsA collaborative appraisal of the context and culture of pain care informed two interdependent action cycles: Enabling nurse-initiated analgesia and involving families in pain care. The Kids Pain Collaborative, an authentic clinical-academic partnership, was central to facilitating successful implementation. Summative evaluation explored the impact of implementation on processes of pain care using an interrupted time series analysis and emotional touchpoint interviews with families.
resultsStaff achieved clinically important and sustained improvements in the rate of nurse-initiated analgesia and pain assessment. Family involvement in pain care shifted from task-orientated practices towards more person-centred ways of working and decision-making. As capacity for collective leadership developed, frontline staff found ways to integrate the KPC approach into ED systems to lead pain care innovation beyond the life of the research project.
conclusionsThe Kids Pain Collaborative, as the overarching implementation strategy, created a practitioner-led coalition for change. Successful implementation was facilitated by working with four interdependent principles: Collaborative and authentic engagement; enabling context for cultural transformation; creating safe spaces for critical reflection and workplace learning; and embedding sustainable practice change. IMPACT: A multi-level model of internal-external facilitation enabled sustained improvement in pain care practice. An embedded researcher was pivotal in this process. PATIENT CONTRIBUTION: Authentic engagement of clinicians and families was pivotal in transforming systems of pain care and enabling a culture where "it is not ok for children to wait in pain" IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The principles underpinning the Kids Pain Collaborative are transferable to other emergency department and acute care contexts.
