The practice of internet hospital for pediatric patients: a real-world study.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Objective: The study analyzes real-world operational data of our pediatric internet hospital to improve operational efficiency, enhance user experience, and provide a reference for other hospitals launching similar platforms. Methods: We analyzed the operational data of our pediatric internet hospital from June 1, 2020, to May 31, 2025, examining patient demographics, service utilization, diagnoses, and satisfaction metrics. We also assessed the platform's key modules-medical assistant services, online treatment, and chronic disease management. Results: Over five years, the internet hospital registered 2,096,293 new users. A total of 259,034 patients used online follow-up services, with 175,654 prescriptions issued, while 266,321 patients utilized online consultation services. The majority (76.27%) of follow-up patients were under six years old, and services expanded to 31 provinces by 2025. Patient satisfaction was high, with an average score exceeding 9 out of 10. However, limitations in online physical examinations and diagnostic accuracy, along with policy-related restrictions, pose challenges to further expansion. Conclusions: Internet hospitals offer a valuable supplement to offline care, enhancing accessibility, particularly for children in remote areas. Despite certain operational limitations, internet hospitals have the potential to transform healthcare delivery in China. Further efforts should focus on expanding specialty services and addressing policy barriers to maximize their impact.
