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
Standardized transfer is an evidence-based framework designed to improve communication between healthcare professionals, reducing risks and ensuring safe, high-quality care. Despite its benefits, implementing this framework in clinical practice poses challenges. Nurses often do not use a systematic guide as a theoretical framework for handovers in daily practice.
objectiveTo explore nurses' perceptions regarding the use of standardized transfers. METHODOLOGY: This exploratory qualitative cross-sectional study aimed to gain insight into nurses' experiences and perspectives on pediatric patient transfers. Using purposive sampling, nurses from the pediatric intensive care unit and hospital wards at the hospital institution hosting the study were interviewed. Data were collected through 21 in-depth individual interviews conducted between April and May 2023. The semi-structured interviews, lasting 16 to 28 min, focused on nurses' views on communication between units during patient transfers. The qualitative approach allowed for a comprehensive understanding of nurses' perceptions, particularly the barriers they face in practice. The study included 21 nurses: 9 from the pediatric intensive care unit and 12 from pediatric wards. To ensure diverse representation, nurses with varying levels of work experience were included, and at least one nurse from each hospital ward participated.
resultsThe data were classified into the following main categories: the current state of pediatric patient transfers, attitudes of healthcare professionals, barriers and challenges to implementation, nursing documentation, motivational aspects, and the child-family relationship. The findings revealed significant issues in the communication process during patient transfers, with no systematic guidelines in place. While nurses demonstrated a positive attitude toward the standardization of transfers, they identified numerous practical challenges, particularly those related to the hospital's nursing documentation system.
conclusionsNurses view standardized transfers favorably, but they face substantial barriers that limit their practical implementation.
