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: In mechanically ventilated children in the PICU, assessment of analgesia, sedation, and delirium often requires multiple instruments, which increases workflow complexity and nursing burden. Objective: To evaluate the association and clinical agreement between the State Behavioral Scale (SBS) and the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) in mechanically ventilated children in the PICU. Methods: This retrospective study included 1,025 mechanically ventilated children admitted to a tertiary PICU between May 2024 and October 2025. SBS and RASS scores were recorded simultaneously at predefined time points, resulting in 13,736 paired observations. Patient-level clustering caused by repeated measurements was addressed using cluster-robust standard errors and generalized estimating equations (GEE). Results: Spearman rank correlation analysis with patient-level cluster-robust standard errors showed a strong positive association between RASS and SBS scores ( Conclusions: RASS showed good clinical agreement with SBS in mechanically ventilated children and may serve as a practical and efficient alternative for sedation assessment in the PICU, provided that standardized training and local implementation procedures are ensured.
