1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

importanceThere is limited data describing statewide pediatric surge response during times of capacity strain.

objectiveCharacterize the burden and response to a surge in pediatric respiratory admissions in Oregon in 2022. DESIGN, SETTING, AND

participantsThis analysis utilized data from the Oregon Capacity System (OCS) and the state discharge database to describe patient characteristics, census changes, and admission pattern shifts during an RSV epidemic in 2022. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURE: Statewide pediatric census, weekly pediatric admissions, weekly admissions from non-children's hospital emergency departments (EDs) to non-children's hospitals.

resultsThe median census in Oregon's pediatric inpatient hospitals increased by 19% during the surge period (306 vs 364, CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: As the statewide pediatric inpatient census increased, targeted reductions in elective admissions and increased utilization of non-children's hospitals increased capacity during a respiratory surge. This analysis underscores the importance of real-time situational awareness and coordinated surge response between hospitals.
