A Blueprint for Improving the Research Infrastructure of a Pediatric Hospital Medicine Division.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundWhile research barriers in academic medical practice have been identified in prior studies, the facilitators and barriers to research productivity for pediatric hospital medicine (PHM) faculty in the era of board certification are not well described.
objectivesThis study aimed to (1) identify the perceived facilitators and barriers to research productivity among PHM faculty at a large tertiary care children's hospital, and (2) explore potential differences between fellowship-trained and non-fellowship-trained faculty in their perceptions of the facilitators and barriers to research. METHODOLOGY: A survey was distributed to eligible PHM faculty members from the Division of Pediatric Hospital Medicine of a large tertiary care children's hospital. The survey, developed using the Bland model of faculty research productivity as a framework, assessed factors related to mentorship, networking, resource utilization, and training. Data were collected over 14 weeks and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
resultsThe response rate was 41%, with 28 faculty members responding out of 68 total. Non-clinical time and mentorship emerged as the strongest facilitators. Additional facilitators included supervised health services research and networking. Research barriers included time limitations, burnout, and limited supporting resources. There was no statistically significant difference in answers for the most common barriers comparing the fellowship-trained and non-fellowship-trained groups.
conclusionsThis study identifies key facilitators and barriers to research productivity among PHM faculty, highlighting the importance of mentorship, non-clinical time, and resources. These insights suggest actionable strategies to enhance research productivity. The strategies aim to foster a culture of scholarly productivity within the division and may serve as a model for similar academic PHM divisions.
