Design and application of a novel surgical transfer sheet: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the safety of an innovative surgical transfer sheet, already designed to integrate "safety, comfort, convenience, and cost-effectiveness," and to quantify its impact on staff workload. The assessment was performed via a randomized controlled trial to generate evidence for improved postoperative transfer practices.
methodsAn experimental design was applied for this study. This study included 124 postoperative surgical patients transfer events from a Shanghai tertiary hospital between November 2023 and February 2024. Participants included both the patients and the clinical staff involved in the transfer evaluations. The patients were randomly allocated via random number table to experimental (n = 62) and control (n = 62) groups. The experimental group utilized a polyurethane foam-nylon fiber composite transfer sheet, while the control group employed standard linens. The clinical staff participating in the post-transfer evaluation comprised one anesthesiologist, two ward nurses, and one operating room support staff per procedure. Outcome measures included transfer time, pre-post transfer vital sign variability (respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation), pain scores, adverse event rates, as well as staff musculoskeletal strain and satisfaction levels.
resultsCompared to controls, the experimental group demonstrated significantly shorter transfer times (P < 0.01), superior hemodynamic stability with lower heart rates (P < 0.05) and reduced systolic blood pressure variability (P < 0.05). No significant between-group differences were observed in tube dislodgement rates or critical vital sign fluctuations (P > 0.05). Clinical staff reported significantly decreased physical exertion (P < 0.01) and higher satisfaction scores (P < 0.05) when using the novel device.
conclusionThe novel transfer sheet effectively enhances transfer efficiency, maintains hemodynamic stability, reduces staff physical strain, and improves clinical workflow satisfaction. This innovation provides an evidence-based solution for safe postoperative patient transfer. CLINICAL
