Embrace versus Cloth Wrap in preventing neonatal hypothermia during transport: a randomized trial.
Trial report in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. 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
backgroundWe assessed the efficacy of Embrace Nest Infant Warmer versus Cloth Wrap in preventing hypothermia during short-term transport from the emergency department (ED) to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
methodsNeonates weighing ≥1500 g coming to the ED were randomized for transport to the NICU. Axillary temperature was measured.
resultsA total of 120 newborns (60 per group) were enrolled. From ED exit to NICU entry, the mean (SD) temperature increased in the Embrace group by 0.37 °C (0.54), whereas it reduced by 0.38 °C (0.80) in the Cloth group (p < 0.001). Hypothermia cases reduced in the Embrace group from 39 (65%) to 21 (35%), while it increased from 21 (35%) to 39 (65%) in the Cloth group (p = 0.001) from ED exit to NICU entry. The thermoregulation for 24 h after admission to the NICU was superior in the Embrace group.
conclusionsEmbrace showed significantly better thermoregulation in neonates. Further studies should be done to measure its effectiveness in different environments and distances.
