The accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubinometry in preterm infants.
Observational study in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo evaluate the correlation between total serum and transcutaneous bilirubin and to determine the reliability of transcutaneous bilirubinometry for screening and monitoring of neonatal jaundice among preterms. STUDY
designNinety nine infants with gestational ages ≤34 weeks were prospectively enrolled. Babies were classified into three groups as; 24-28, 29-31, and 32-34 weeks. Total serum bilirubin and simultaneous transcutaneous bilirubin were measured before the onset of phototheraphy, during and at 24 h after discontinuing phototherapy.
resultsTotal serum bilirubin significantly correlated with transcutaneous bilirubin in the whole cohort (r = 0.867, p < 0.001) and in each group before, during and after phototheraphy. Hypotension was the only variable which effects the difference between two methods at postnatal first day of life (p = 0.039).
conclusionTranscutaneous bilirubin levels were highly correlated with total serum bilirubin levels even in 24-28 GW babies. Transcutaneous bilirubin may be useful for screening and monitoring of jaundice in very preterm newborns.
