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

Healthcare professionals (HCPs) play a key role in improving pain outcomes in hospitalized children. Knowledge gaps can significantly hinder the ability of HCPs to provide optimal pain care. Developing targeted educational interventions to address these gaps requires a clear understanding of priority areas for training on essential pain-related topics. Against this background, this study aimed to establish consensus on topics for a pediatric pain educational program (PPEP) for continuing professional education among HCPs. A two-stage modified e-Delphi study was conducted among experts in pediatric care, health education, and pain research. The researchers developed 35 topics by reviewing the Core Content of the Pediatric Pain PRN Curriculum. In the first and second rounds, experts rated the topics and suggested additional topics. Ratings were done on a four-point Likert scale with options ranging from 1 (not important at all) to 4 (very important). The outcomes from both rounds were analyzed based on the level of consensus. Consensus on a topic was set at a threshold of ≥ 70. A response rate of 88% (
