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 aims: Regionalized centralization of moderate and high-risk pregnancies is essential, but a well-organized postnatal transport service is equally important. This study evaluates the overall activity and clinical outcomes of the neonatal air transport team (NATT) at the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) in Tromsø, covering a large catchment area in the Arctic region of Norway. Methods: Medical data from all neonatal air transports between the years 1994-2023 were recorded prospectively. Body temperature, blood glucose and blood gas within 3-6 h after arrival at UNN were assessed from medical files retrospectively. To assess temporal changes, we compared data between 1994 and 2008 (Period 1) and 2009-2023 (Period 2). Results: A total of 882 acute transports were included. Of these, 655 (74.3%) were referrals to the tertiary neonatal unit at UNN and 227 (25.7%) transfers to national surgical centers. Most transports (61.5%) were by fixed wing aircrafts. The proportion of infants transported due to congenital heart defects (CHD), prematurity and asphyxia was lower in Period 2. When comparing Period 1 and 2, upon arrival we found similar rates of hypothermia (9.8% vs. 6.7%, Conclusion: Decreasing rates of transport due to prematurity and CHDs is probably secondary to improved perinatal care. Rates of hypoglycemia and hypocapnia improved in the second 15-year period, but further focus on improvements in both temperature and CO
