Refeeding syndrome knowledge among healthcare providers in a tertiary care pediatric center: a pre- and post-effective education & awareness test analysis.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundRefeeding syndrome (RFS) is a potentially fatal condition with reported pediatric intensive care incidence rates up to 7.4%. Despite heightened vulnerability in children due to higher metabolic rates, substantial knowledge deficits persist among pediatric healthcare providers regarding RFS recognition and management, creating critical patient safety risks.
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive multimodal educational intervention in improving refeeding syndrome knowledge among pediatric healthcare providers in a tertiary care setting.
methodsA prospective pre-post interventional study was conducted from November 2024 to May 2025. Following baseline knowledge assessment using a validated 16-item questionnaire, participants received a 6-month structured educational intervention comprising lectures, evidence-based guidelines, multimedia resources, and reinforcement activities. Post-intervention assessment evaluated knowledge improvement across fundamental understanding and clinical management domains.
resultsSixty-nine participants completed baseline assessment, with 62 completing follow-up (89.9% retention). Significant improvements occurred across all domains: comprehensive RFS definition recognition (58.5% to 83.9%, p = 0.002), metabolic disturbance understanding (60.3% to 87.3%, p = 0.0006), timing recognition (44.6% to 77.4%, p = 0.002), risk stratification (43.5% to 71.0%, p = 0.001), electrolyte monitoring protocols (39.1% to 74.2%, p < 0.001), and clinical scenario management (43.5% to 79.0%, p < 0.001). Excellent fundamental knowledge performance increased from 47.8% to 79.0%, while poor performance decreased from 18.8% to 3.2% (p < 0.001). Fellows and senior residents demonstrated greater improvement than junior residents, suggesting experience-dependent educational responsiveness.
conclusionsStructured multimodal educational interventions produce substantial, clinically meaningful improvements in pediatric RFS knowledge across all competency domains. These findings support implementing systematic RFS education programs in pediatric institutions to enhance patient safety, with particular attention to experience-appropriate content delivery for optimal educational effectiveness.
