A Mobile Application to Reduce Time to Calculate Medication Dosage and Medication Administration Errors in Simulated Pediatric and Neonatal Settings: A Research Protocol for a Cross-Over, Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Pediatric and neonate medication safety is a major issue. Children are at a higher risk of adverse drug events and medication errors than adults. As the mediation administration is the final stage of protection to impede potential unintentional adverse effects on patients. Thus, there is a strong need for research to explore new ways of reducing medication administration errors and time to calculate medication dosage in the pediatric and neonatal context. The objective is to assess the effectiveness of the Medication Administration Clinical Decision Support Systems (MACDSS) compared to the traditional method in a simulated environment for pediatric and neonatal care. Methods: An open-label (unmasked), two-treatment, two-period, cross-over randomized controlled trial will be conducted in pediatric and neonatal settings with simulated scenarios to assess time to calculate medication dosage and medication administration errors with the MACDSS application compared to the traditional method. This study will recruit 16 participants randomly (1:1) from the Afzali-poor hospital in Kerman. The participants are supposed to perform nine highly realistic scenarios, three at a high level of complexity, three at a medium level, and three simple scenarios. For the cross-over stage, different scenarios at the same level of complexity will be presented. The main outcome will be the time spent to calculate the drug dosage by the nurse. Conclusion: Developing a MACDSS as a mobile application may significantly improve the time needed to calculate dosage or amount and lower medication administration errors. If this application proves to be effective, it can be a very cost-effective means of improving outcomes in the medication administration process, positively affecting many pediatrics and neonates' patients.
