Paediatrics hospitalization profile in England: A longitudinal ecological study.
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Children constitute a large proportion of any population. For the appropriate allocation of resources to promote pediatric health, it is necessary to comprehend the patterns of healthcare usage among pediatric patients. This research aimed to determine the hospitalization among England's pediatric population. This ecological study examined the hospitalization profile of the under-15-year-old pediatric population in England. For this investigation, data were extracted from the Hospital Episode Statistics database in England. Using the Pearson chi-square test for independence, the variance in hospitalization rates between 2012 and 2020 was determined. In England, hospital admission episodes among pediatrics totaled 19,905,606 during the duration of the study, with a mean of 2488,201 each year. The overall annual number of hospital admission among pediatrics for different causes decreased by 0.3% from 2468,570 in 2012 to 2460,755 in 2020, representing a decrease in hospital admission rate among pediatrics of 4.0% (from 19,235.82 [95% confidence interval: 19,214.25-19,257.38] in 2012 to 18,459.79 [95% confidence interval: 18,438.96-18,480.61] in 2020 per 100,000 persons, P ≥ .05). Amongst pediatric patients, 3 of the most common causes of admission were factors influencing health status and contact with health services, certain conditions originating in the perinatal period, and diseases of the respiratory system, accounting for 11.8% and 11.2%, respectively. Most pediatric admissions were more common in the 0 to 4 years age range (59.4%). This study shows that pediatric hospital admissions in England decreased, while nervous system, blood, and immunological problems increased, notably in the 0 to 4 age group. Healthcare providers should prioritize preventative care and early intervention for vulnerable children and increasing conditions. To improve pediatric health outcomes and healthcare methods, future studies should examine these increases' origins, socio-economic determinants, and preventive interventions.
