A Quality Improvement Initiative to Improve Normothermia While Transitioning Premature Infants to an Open Crib.
Article in Pediatric quality & safety. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Current literature focuses on the optimal lowest weight and incubator temperature to transition an infant to an open crib, with minimal data quantifying the rate of failed attempts or standardizing the process. Due to multiple failed attempts at this institution in 2021, the project aimed to reduce the rate of preterm newborns who failed the crib by 10% in 1 year. Methods: Interventions, including nursing education, an audit checklist, environmental changes, and a standardized protocol, were implemented after establishing baseline data. Results: The incidence of failed transitions to an open crib decreased from a baseline of 13.5% failed cribs per monthly transition attempts to 3.3% failed cribs per monthly transition attempts in 18 months, a 76% decrease, where it is currently sustained. Of note, infants born between 32 and 35 weeks gestation had higher failure rates compared with those born <32 weeks. Conclusions: Compliance with a thermoregulation protocol, utilizing an audit checklist, and standardizing the process improved the success rate of transitioning to an open crib.
