Development of a pediatric readmissions encounter predictor: Benchmarks for 30-day unplanned pediatric readmission.
Article in Journal of hospital medicine, 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
Pediatric readmissions are important for hospitals to measure and monitor to identify potential improvement opportunities but require benchmarks to contextualize observed and expected readmissions. We developed and validated the Pediatric Readmissions Encounter Predictor (PREP) in administrative data as pediatric readmission benchmarks using the All-Patient Refined Diagnosis-Related Groups with severity of illness subclasses. We developed the model using data from the National Readmission Database in 2019. We subsequently validated these models in the same data set from 2018. The overall 30-day unplanned readmission rate was 2.5%. The model demonstrated acceptable discriminatory performance (area under the receiver operator characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.738, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.734, 0.741) and was well calibrated across all levels of predicted probabilities. PREP is a promising readmission prediction model which hospitals can use to assist in identifying improvement opportunities.
