Impact of Pediatric Trauma Resuscitation Module (PTRM) on Clinical Outcomes in a Level-1 Trauma Centre in India.
Article in Indian pediatrics, 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
objectiveDespite injury being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children, especially in low- and middle-income countries, including India, there is a lack of pediatric-specific resuscitation training programs. This study evaluates the impact of Pediatric Trauma Resuscitation Module (PTRM) training on patient outcomes in a Level 1 trauma center in Northern India.
methodsA pre-post-intervention study was conducted at Level 1 trauma center in Northern India. The study consisted of a 12-month pre-training phase, a 3-month PTRM training period, and a 12-month post-intervention phase. All pediatric trauma patients admitted during the two 12-month periods were enrolled. Data on patient demographics, injury characteristics, time to interventions, and outcomes were collected and compared between the two phases.
resultsA total of 164 pediatric trauma patients were included (73 pre-training, 91 post-training); both groups had comparable baseline characteristics. Post-PTRM implementation, survival at 72 h improved significantly from 86. % to 94.5%; P = 0.048, and the mean hospital stay decreased from 15.5 (4.8) to 13.2 (3.9) days (P < 0.021). Mortality within the first 60 min of admission was observed in the pre-PTRM study group (%) but was absent post-PTRM (P = 0.042). Specialist consultation times showed marked improvement, with 34.2% of patients reviewed within 1-2 h post-training compared to none pre-training (P < 0.001).
conclusionThe study reiterates the need wider implementation of PTRM in India to improve pediatric trauma care.
