Visibility in Varying Light Conditions During Simulated Neonatal Transport.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesDuring neonatal transport, specialized pediatric transport teams closely monitor the status of critically ill newborns. Teletransport applications require an appropriate light intensity for the visibility of the neonate, but this must be balanced with safety for sensitive eyes. This simulation study was conducted to determine the amount of light needed to view a neonatal manikin during transport. Methods: The potential light exposure to the eyes of the neonate was measured using light bars and a photometer in a simulated transport setting with a newborn manikin in a transport incubator. Twelve videos depicting the visibility of the manikin in the incubator were recorded in controlled amounts of light and viewed by experienced medical control physicians (MCPs). Eight neonatologist MCPs participated in a survey. Results: Based on MCP ratings, the location of the light source for optimal viewing was along the inside upper long edge above the access door. Analysis of the range of desired light intensity showed that the amount of light that reached the patient's eyes (1 to 22.5 lux) was significantly lower than the intensity at the light source (1 to 351 lux) and did not increase linearly with the increasing light intensity. Conclusion: There was variability in the range of desired light intensity for remote patient monitoring during neonatal transport. More studies on visibility and safety are needed to inform approaches to remote patient monitoring during transports.
