Prolonged neonatal interhospital transport on road: relevance for developing countries.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo compare prolonged inter hospital long distance transports on road undertaken by a qualified transport team vs those done by the same team from shorter distances and time.
methodsRetrospective descriptive comparative study of the neonatal transports done during a period of 48 mo. All neonates transferred on road to a tertiary level pediatric hospital from various maternity and pediatric centers. The biochemical characteristics, adverse effects during transport and 24 hr survival after the transport in both the groups were compared.
resultsThe babies were comparable in their gestational age and ventilatory requirements (46% vs 39%). The biochemical and metabolic characteristics and 24 hr mortality rates for babies who were transported for longer times and distances were comparable (p value =0.75) to those transported for shorter times.
conclusionLong distance neonatal transport on road is feasible and with a qualified team results can be comparable to those transported from shorter distances.
