Summary and Critical Appraisal of Evidence for Intrahospital Neonatal Transport.
Review in Pediatric health, medicine and therapeutics, 2026. 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
Objective: To systematically review and analyze the literature on intrahospital neonatal transport and synthesize the available evidence to inform the development of standardized transport procedures. Methods: Following the "6S" evidence model, a systematic search was conducted across multiple databases from inception to August 31, 2025. Eligible documents were appraised for methodological quality, and relevant recommendations and evidence statements were extracted and synthesized narratively. The level of evidence and strength of recommendations were graded according to the 2014 JBI evidence pre-grading system. Results: A total of 10 documents were included, comprising 7 guidelines, 2 evidence summaries, and 1 systematic review. A total of 35 evidence statements were synthesized and grouped into 7 themes: transport team; pre-transport assessment and decision-making; preparation of healthcare providers and neonates; preparation of supplies and medications; transport equipment; monitoring and care during transport; and handover and quality management. The evidence base was primarily derived from guideline recommendations, evidence summaries, and expert consensus. Conclusion: This review provides a structured synthesis and critical appraisal of the available evidence and recommendations for intrahospital neonatal transport. The synthesized recommendations may help inform standardized transport procedures; however, they should be interpreted with caution because a substantial proportion of the evidence base is derived from guidelines or expert consensus. Further high-quality prospective, multicenter studies are warranted to evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, and generalizability of these recommendations across diverse clinical settings.
