[Changed profile of requirements in pediatric prehospital emergency care-a retrospective analysis of the Karlsruhe pediatric ambulance service].
Article in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 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
backgroundPaediatric emergencies account for only 5% of emergency deployments, but conversely, they pose a challenge for most emergency doctors.
methodsWe retrospectively recorded 1055 deployments (2015-2024) of the Karlsruhe pediatric emergency ambulance and compared it with 1169 deployments (2003-2013) focusing on disease indications of the patients being treated.
resultsSmall children formed the largest group (2003-2013: 45.3%; 2015-2024: 32.2%); deployments were seen more often in boys (2003-2013: 53.3%, 4.6% not identified; 2015-2024: 48.8%, 12.2% not identified). In all cases, 57.7% (2003-2013) and 69.4% (2015-2024) involved minor injuries/diseases. Most common were trauma (2003-2013: 25.9%; 2015-2024: 29.2%) and neurological diseases (2003-2013: 26.2%; 2015-2024: 20.7%). We observed a decrease of respiratory disorders (-7.2%), resuscitation (-2.2%), and sudden infant death syndrome (-0.8%); a rise in psychiatric presentations (+5.4%), ingestion/intoxication (+2.4%) and allergies/anaphylaxis (+2.4%). Females had an increased probability of psychiatric emergencies (OR 3.5; 95% CI 1.7-5.5). During the COVID-19-pandemic (2020/2021), the frequency of deployments dropped (-50%), psychiatric (+4.3%; OR 2.5; 95% CI 1.2-5.4) and obstetrics diagnoses (+3.8%) rose while trauma decreased (-11.1%; OR 0.6; 95% CI 0.4-0.8). A specific therapy was initiated in 82.2% (2003-2013) and 58.7% (2015-2024) of all the deployments.
conclusionOur results revealed changes in the range of deployments between the two time frames as well as during the Covid-19 pandemic. We believe that the provision of preclinical emergency care for children-with their particular needs and range of disease indications (compared to adults) warrants discussion considering the need for reforms and additional medical qualifications.
