Prevalence, main diagnoses, and outcomes of hospital admissions in Mongolian children: a national registry-based descriptive analysis.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: No systematic data on pediatric hospital admissions in Mongolia are available. Methods: The Mongolian National Hospital Data registry was screened for pediatric (<18 years) hospital admissions (01.01.2019-31.12.2023) to report the prevalence, main diagnoses, and outcomes of hospital admissions in Mongolian newborns, post-neonatal children und 5 years, and children aged 5-17.99 years. Descriptive methods were used for data analysis. Results: During the study period, 927,223 pediatric hospital admissions were identified translating into a median prevalence of 5,218 (IQR: 4,386-6,098) pediatric hospital admissions per 100,000 population (all ages) per year. This prevalence was highest among post-neonatal children under 5 years (median: 3,780; IQR: 2,491-3,900), followed by children aged 5-17.99 years (median: 1,945; IQR: 1,929-2,071), and newborns (median: 275; IQR: 246-295) over the study period. Neonatal jaundice was the most frequent main diagnosis in newborns. Pneumonia and COVID-19 were most common in both post-neonatal children under 5 years and children aged 5-17.99 years. The median length of hospital stay was 6.7 (IQR: 5.0-9.0) days in newborns, 6.0 (IQR: 5.0-7.0) days in post-neonatal children under 5 years, and 7.0 (IQR: 5.0-8.0) days in children aged 5-17.99 years. The hospital mortality rate was 5.9% in newborns, 0.25% in post-neonatal children under 5 years, and 0.14% in children aged 5-17.99 years. Conclusions: This nationwide, registry-based study found a median prevalence of 5,218 pediatric hospital admissions per 100,000 population (all ages) per year in Mongolia. The majority of pediatric hospital admissions occurred in post-neonatal children under five years. The observation period included the COVID-19 pandemic years.
