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

Aim: This study is aimed at establishing the top research priorities in pediatric hospital care that are relevant and meaningful to local pediatric consumers and healthcare professionals to optimize local service outcomes. Methods: This study adopted a modified consensus-based research priority-setting design, utilizing James Lind Alliance (JLA) methodology led by a steering committee comprising consumers (parents, carers, and previous patients) and healthcare professionals. The study was conducted at a regional Australian tertiary hospital providing whole-of-life health services from April 2023 to June 2024. The six-stage study design consisted of (1) initiation, (2) consultation, (3) collation, (4) interim ranking, (5) final priority setting, and (6) dissemination. Results: Equal representation of consumers and healthcare professionals was achieved during the priority-setting processes, with active consumer partnership during research design, data collection, analysis, and dissemination phases. A total of 104 unique research submissions were generated through the harvesting survey ( Conclusion: These research priorities align with those of other international pediatric healthcare services while highlighting unique local contextual differences. Notably, reducing trauma associated with healthcare experiences emerged as a central priority. Our modified JLA approach appears to be an effective framework for engaging research end-users in establishing relevant and meaningful research priorities tailored to local health-service needs. Future initiatives should continue to ensure consumers are active coinvestigators to ensure outcomes remain patient-centered and community-focused.
