Implementation of Immersive Technologies in Pediatric Perioperative Care: A Multi-Institutional Survey Study.
Article in Journal of medical extended reality. 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: Immersive technologies (ImTs), including virtual, augmented, or mixed reality, are increasingly used to support periprocedural pediatric patients, but clinical adoption varies widely across children's hospitals and specialties. Multiple determinants for the adoption of ImT in health care have been identified; however, these have not been well characterized in pediatric perioperative settings. Aims: Among Society for Pediatric Anesthesia Improvement Network (SPAIN) member institutions, we describe the current state of pediatric perioperative ImT use, identify barriers and facilitators to ImT adoption, and report perceived implementation-related factors. Methods: We conducted a multi-institutional cross-sectional survey of pediatric perioperative practices via key contacts from SPAIN. Survey responses underwent mixed-methods analyses informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Results: Among 27 eligible institutions, 24 (89%) provided responses, 13 of which reported ImT use. Of these, 8 (62%) reported existing institutional infrastructure or governance to support ImT. Use patterns were highly heterogeneous, but use was commonly paired with the presence of champions, technology expertise, and available resource support. Use cases included anxiety reduction, distraction, and procedural support. Barriers, facilitators, and potential strategies for successful implementation were highlighted. Conclusions: ImT is used variably across pediatric anesthesia practices affiliated with SPAIN. These findings provide a descriptive snapshot of current practice and highlight factors commonly associated with adoption. Further work is needed to more rigorously characterize the implementation processes and evaluate strategies that may support integration of ImT into routine care in diverse clinical settings.
