Unintended Events in Long-Distance Neonatal Interhospital Transport in Western Australia: A Comparison of Neonatal Specialist and Non-Neonatal Specialist Transport Teams.
Article in Journal of pediatrics. Clinical practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objective: To compare unintended events in transfers performed by neonatal specialist (NS) and non-neonatal specialist (NNS) teams in Western Australia (WA). Study design: Retrospective comparison of neonatal transfers from the Kimberley and Pilbara regions (WA) to tertiary services, King Edward Memorial (perinatal) and Perth Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, in Perth (state capital, distance up to 2200 km) between January 2018 and June 2021. NS teams traveled from the tertiary to the referring center and back. NNS traveled from the referring to the tertiary center. Transport time, team composition, total unintended clinical and endotracheal tube (ETT) events were compared. Categorial data are expressed as numbers (%) and compared by χ Results: During the study period, 3709 infants were transported in WA to tertiary services for escalation of care: 119 of 3709 (3.2%) from the Kimberley and Pilbara, 49 with NS and 70 with NNS teams. NNS had shorter transport times than NS teams (508 [433-610] vs 675 [610- 735] minutes; Conclusions: Although NS teams had longer transport times, there were fewer unintended clinical and ETT events. NS teams should be considered as the first choice to undertake neonatal transport.
