A Novel Non-invasive Technique of Measuring Bilirubin Levels Using BiliCapture.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2019. 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
objectivesIn preterm infants, hyperbilirubinemia is common and can impair the central nervous system. The tests available for measuring bilirubin is to collect blood from heel pricking and occasionally taking blood samples from inserted cannulas, which is painful. Therefore, there is a need to develop a non-invasive device to detect bilirubin levels in newborns and interpret the severity of jaundice.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 100 neonates. Patient data was collected between June 2015 and December 2016 from King Khalid Hospital at Al-Majma'ah, Saudi Arabia, and Alpine Hospital, Gurgaon, India. The mean gestational age of neonates was 39.0 weeks. Total bilirubin was measured using a transcutaneous bilirubinometer on the forehead and obtaining optical imaging through scanning of conjunctiva of eyes, also referred to as BiliChek and BiliCapture, respectively. Later the blood samples were obtained from these patients and tested in the laboratory to determine total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels.
resultsThe concentration of bilirubin as measured from serum, BiliChek, and BiliCapture were 10.7±2.0, 11.6±2.7, and 13.1±2.3 mg/dL, respectively. Correlation was high between TSB and BiliChek (r
conclusionsThe optical imaging of conjunctiva for bilirubin assay is a safe alternative to a laboratory bilirubin assay and transcutaneous bilirubinometer BiliChek.
