Impact of implementing a pediatric early warning system on outcomes in hematopoietic stem cell transplant units in South America and Europe.

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/Aim: Escala de Valoración de Alerta Temprana (EVAT) is a Spanish-language Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) validated to predict the need for unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) transfer in hospitalized children with cancer. We assess the effect of PEWS implementation on hospitalized children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in variable-resource centers in South America and Europe. Methods: We analyzed data from a prospective registry of clinical deterioration events (CDE), defined as an unplanned ICU transfer, ICU-level intervention on the ward, ward cardiopulmonary arrest, or deterioration to death, among hospitals implementing PEWS. We included CDE occurring in patients under age 19 hospitalized in an HSCT unit between April 2017 and June 2024. We used the Wilcoxon rank sum test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test to compare CDE occurring before PEWS implementation (pre-PEWS) and during/after PEWS implementation (post-PEWS). Results: During the study period, we identified 221 CDE among 146 patients from six centers (South America Conclusions: PEWS implementation promoted the early identification of critical illness as well as ICU transfer at a lower severity of illness for children undergoing HSCT. This work further supports the use of PEWS in the care of all children with cancer and blood disorders globally.
