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

aimThis study aimed to identify and prioritise medical skills for inclusion in a simulation-based training curriculum for interdisciplinary neonatal interhospital transport teams.

methodsA modified three-round Delphi process was conducted. We included 144 healthcare professionals (101 physicians and 43 non-physician healthcare professionals including nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics and respiratory therapists) with neonatal transport experience from 14 European countries. In Round 1, participants suggested medical skills. In Round 2, skills were prioritised using a modified Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation Needs Assessment Formula. In Round 3, skills were re-prioritised and eliminated based on consensus (> 75% agreement).

resultsConsensus was reached on 21 medical skills for physicians and 34 for non-physician healthcare professionals. The highest-ranked skills for physicians included manual non-invasive ventilation, set-up of mechanical ventilation, chest compressions, endotracheal intubation and umbilical venous catheterisation. For non-physician healthcare professionals, the highest-ranked skills included set-up of the transport incubator, monitoring, administration of intravenous infusions and set-up of infusion drivers.

conclusionThis study identified and prioritised medical skills for physicians and non-physician healthcare professionals on neonatal transport teams, which supports the development of simulation-based training aligned with the clinical complexity and interdisciplinary nature of neonatal transport.
