1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Intrahospital transportation of critically ill patients is a high-risk process, frequently linked to complications and increased vulnerability to adverse events. Ensuring safety requires nursing interventions that uphold the standards of care provided in critical care units. Objective: To identify nursing interventions that promote patient safety during intrahospital transportation. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's framework. The search was performed in 2024 across PubMed and EBSCOhost (CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete, Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials). Results: Seven publications met the criteria. All studies emphasized the need for strategies to prevent complications during transport. Four categories of interventions emerged: identification and management of adverse events, use of checklists, continuous nurse training, and effective communication. Conclusions: Nurses play a pivotal role in maintaining safety and quality of care. By applying evidence-based strategies, they minimize risks and ensure safer intrahospital transportation.
