Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and early discharge from the maternity ward.
Review in European journal of pediatrics, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Early discharge from the maternity hospital is almost becoming the rule: it is not clear if this practice actually increases the rate of newborn rehospitalization, but it surely poses some problems for jaundice management, since hyperbilirubinemia is the most frequent reason for hospital readmission. Available guidelines for jaundice management and early discharge are reviewed. Evidence-based update is given about four new points: use of gestational age as predictor jointly with the nomogram evaluation, two-point bilirubin assay, and rate of rise evaluation; choice of the "right" curve and unforeseen jaundice risk factors. In conclusion, available predictive tools allow reliable jaundice prediction and safe early discharge if adequate follow-up is planned according to the prediction. Advice about things to avoid is provided together with a practical flowchart based on guidelines and recent evidence-based data.
