Neonatal transportation: the effects of a national neonatal transportation programme.
Article in Irish journal of medical science. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe transport of critically ill newborns by specialised transport teams has been shown to be associated with a significant improvement in their clinical condition on arrival at the receiving hospital.
aimTo determine if the National Neonatal Transport Programme introduced in 2001 improved clinical condition of newborns at the end of transfer.
methodsA retrospective study of all 176 patients transported by the National Neonatal Transport Programme between March 2001 and March 2002.
resultsBefore transfer, 17% of patients were hypothermic, 2% hypoglycaemic and 11% acidotic as were 7%, 3% and 5% respectively at the end of transfer. A review of 172 neonatal transports between 1987 and 1989 revealed that 21% of patients were hypothermic, 13% hypoglycaemic and 20% acidotic at the end of transfer.
conclusionsThe National Neonatal Transport Programme has resulted in improved clinical condition of newborns at the end of transfer when compared to their condition before transfer and compared to outcomes prior to the introduction of the programme.
