We investigate baryon transport in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at energies reached at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), BNL Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC), and CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the model of saturation. An analytical scaling law is derived within the color glass condensate framework based on small-coupling QCD. Transverse momentum spectra, net-baryon rapidity distributions, and their energy, mass, and centrality dependencies are well described. In comparison with RHIC data in $\mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{Au}$ collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{\mathit{NN}}}=62.4$ and $200$ GeV, the gradual approach to the gluon saturation regime is investigated and limits for the saturation-scale exponent are determined. Predictions for net-baryon rapidity spectra and the mean rapidity loss in central $\mathrm{Pb}+\mathrm{Pb}$ collisions at LHC energies of $\sqrt{{s}_{\mathit{NN}}}=5.52$ TeV are made.
