Educational Needs and Priorities for Pediatric Emergency Nursing: A Cross-Sectional Study of Clinical Nurses.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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/
objectivesPediatric emergency nursing requires timely, accurate interventions, yet educational content is not always aligned with clinical priorities. Identifying and prioritizing educational gaps based on clinical relevance and nurses' current performance is essential to improve pediatric emergency care.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study assessed clinical performance and educational needs among nurses working in emergency departments, general wards, and intensive care units. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire on 20 pediatric emergency conditions and related procedures. Priorities were identified using the Borich Needs Assessment and the Locus for Focus model, based on differences between required and present competence and the level of perceived importance.
resultsEducational needs were consistently high across participant characteristics. In both the Borich needs assessment and the Locus for Focus model, the highest priorities were identified in pediatric emergency nursing competencies related to time-critical emergencies and core procedures, particularly resuscitation and high-risk medication administration.
conclusionsEducational priorities in pediatric emergency nursing span urgent conditions and skill-intensive procedures. Although performance varied by age and experience, educational needs were consistently high, supporting continuous, standardized training. Simulation-based and mobile-enabled, scenario-focused education should be considered to enhance preparedness and response capacity among nursing students and early-career nurses.
