Overcoming barriers to pediatric intensive care in low-resource settings: an institutional experience from Northeast India.
Article in Health policy and planning, 2026. 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
Developing pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in resource-limited regions presents several challenges, including significant resource constraints, a shortage of trained personnel, and a lack of standardized care protocols. Prioritizing skills and knowledge development for healthcare professionals, selecting effective yet affordable equipment, and strong leadership have been identified as essential for establishing sustainable pediatric critical care services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In this article, we describe the practical, phased approach undertaken in a charitable hospital setting in Northeast India to establish a PICU, highlighting adaptability, institutional commitment, patient team building, and systematic record-keeping in overcoming these challenges. The lessons drawn from this experience can offer valuable insights for similar healthcare settings in LMICs, demonstrating that high-quality pediatric critical care can be achieved even in resource-constrained environments.
