Safety incidents during intrahospital transport of hemodialysis patients in China: a multicenter cross-sectional study.

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 characterize safety incidents during intrahospital transport of hemodialysis patients in Chinese tertiary hospitals to guide evidence-based safety standards. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study (STROBE-guided) included 4,253 registered nurses consisting of 418 head nurses and 3,835 clinical nurses. While the WHO's International Classification for Patient Safety served as the basis for the classification of safety incidents, the structured questionnaires were created based on clinical observation and a review of the literature. Binary logistic regression identified organizational and operational risk factors. Results: Over 12 months, 268 safety incidents were reported from 135,459 intrahospital transports. Hemodialysis facilities accounted for 81.72% reports. Survey report from 3,232 clinical nurses showed that the predominant incident categories were medical device/equipment malfunctions (61.14%), patient accidents (45.24%), blood/blood product-related events (43.94%), oxygen/gas/vapor issues (42.39%), and clinical administration errors (41.83%). Key independent risk factor was a monthly hemodialysis caseload exceeding 3,000 procedures (OR = 2.580; 95% CI: 1.198-5.556; Conclusion: High-volume dialysis units are at significantly elevated risk for transport safety incidents. Units implementing quality control measures reported more safety incidents, which likely reflects the role of a proactive reporting culture in enhancing the detection of hidden incidents. These findings support targeted resource allocation and policy standardization for safer intrahospital transport in hemodialysis settings.
