Neonatal transport metrics and quality improvement in a regional transport service.
Review in Translational pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sick neonates in non-tertiary centers rely on the expert skills of neonatal transport teams (NTTs) and efficient systems to provide safe and timely transport to tertiary centers. Quality metrics to measure and compare performance among transport teams are essential to ensure delivery of high-quality care and efficient use of limited and costly resources. We review the most relevant quality metrics available in neonatal transport and key issues to consider during their utilization. The use of quality metrics for quality improvement is described through the experience of a neonatal transport program based at a quaternary children's hospital in Canada.
