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

objectiveTo assess the efficacy of the heme oxygenase inhibitor, tin mesoporphyrin (SnMP), to reduce total bilirubin (TB) levels. STUDY

designMasked, SnMP (4.5 mg kg(-1)), placebo-controlled, multicenter trial of single intramuscular injection to newborns ⩾35 weeks gestational age whose predischarge screening transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was >75th percentile.

resultsTwo hundred and thirteen newborns (median age 30 h) were randomized to treatment with SnMP (n=87) or 'sham' (n=89). We found that the duration of phototherapy was halved. Within 12 h of SnMP administration, the natural TB trajectory was reversed. At age 3 to 5 days, TB in the SnMP-treated group was +8% but sixfold lower than the 47% increase in the sham-treated group (P<0.001). At age 7 to 10 days, mean TB declined 18% (P<0.001) compared with a 7.1% increase among controls. No short-term adverse events from SnMP treatment were noted other than photoreactivity due to inadvertent exposure to white light phototherapy.

conclusionEarly, predischarge SnMP administration decreased the duration of phototherapy, reversed TB trajectory and reduced the severity of subsequent hyperbilirubinemia.
