Pediatric Alert Score: evaluation of measurement properties.
Article in Einstein (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 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
objectiveTo evaluate the construct validity and reliability of the Pediatric Alert Score in hospitalized children and adolescents.
methodsThis methodological study included 84 children aged 0-14 years. Data were collected using three instruments: a sociodemographic and clinical characterization form, the Brazilian version Brighton Pediatric Early Warning Score, and the Pediatric Alert Score. The reliability of the Pediatric Alert Score was assessed using interobserver equivalence expressed by the intraclass correlation coefficient, and the construct validity was evaluated using Spearman's correlation analysis of the Pediatric Alert Score and the Brighton Pediatric Early Warning Score.
resultsThe reliability analysis of the Pediatric Alert Score revealed an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.95 (95% confidence interval from 0.93-0.97), and the Spearman's correlation coefficient was 0.53 (p<0.0001), indicating a strong positive correlation between the instruments.
conclusionThe Pediatric Alert Score demonstrated construct validity and internal consistency in the studied sample and can be used to enhance patient safety.
