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

Early detection of deterioration in children in hospital is essential for improving patient outcomes, prompting NHS England to introduce a digital National Paediatric Early Warning System (PEWS) in November 2023. Our service evaluation examined a locally delivered digital version of the PEWS system, introduced in July 2025 to explore paediatric staffs' acceptance before and after implementation, measured by the Technology Integration Evaluation Resource (TIER), based on the Technology Integration Model. Online surveys were completed pre- and post-implementation. Acceptance did not significantly change over time. However, user motivation, agency and perceived cost-benefit as well as perceptions of PEWS as an extension of self, were positively associated with acceptance, highlighting key psychological factors influencing digital health adoption.
