Rate of rise of total serum bilirubin in very low birth weight preterm infants.
Article in Pediatric research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundTo assess the postnatal rate of rise (ROR) of total serum bilirubin (TSB) in very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants, to determine risk factors associated with a rapid rise (>90th percentile), and to compare ROR and hour-specific TSB at postnatal 12-48 h with data of term infants retrieved from the literature.
methodsRetrospective analysis of 2430 routine TSB concentrations obtained between birth and initiation of phototherapy in 483 VLBW infants.
resultsTSB increased by a median (interquartile range) ROR of 0.15 (0.11-0.19) mg/dL/h. The 50th percentile of TSB was below the 40th percentile of (near-)term counterparts at 12-48 h. TSB ROR correlated with the age at initiation (R
conclusionROR of TSB is an indicator for early and prolonged phototherapy. While hour-specific TSB and ROR at 12-48 h are lower than those reported for (near-)term infants, TSB appears to rise more rapidly in infants with low gestational age, low birth weight, and low 5-min Apgar score.
