Variability in the systems of care supporting critical neonatal intensive care unit transitions.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2020. 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
objectiveAssess practices supporting care transitions for infants and families in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) using a model of four key drivers: communication, teamwork, family integration, and standardization. STUDY
designSingle-day audit among NICUs in the Vermont Oxford Network Critical Transitions collaborative addressing policies and practices supporting the four key drivers during admission, discharge, shift-to-shift handoffs, within hospital transfers, and select changes in clinical status.
resultsAmong 95 NICUs, the median hospital rate of audited policies in place addressing the four key drivers were 47% (inter-quartile range (IQR) 35-65%) for communication, 67% (IQR 33-83%) for teamwork, 50% (IQR 33-61%) for family integration, and 70% (IQR 56-85%) for standardization. Of the 2462 infants included, 1066 (43%) experienced ≥1 specified transition during the week prior to the audit.
conclusionsWe identified opportunities for improving NICU transitions in areas of communication, teamwork, family integration, and standardization.
