A Prospective Comparison of Serum and Transcutaneous Bilirubin in Indian Neonates.
Article in Journal of pediatric intensive care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The objective of this study was to compare the transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) with total serum bilirubin (TSB) and to find out the effect of phototherapy on correlation of TcB and TSB during and after phototherapy in Indian neonates. Prospective observational study was performed at neonatal intensive care unit of Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences, Saifai, Etawah, India. Blood samples for TSB estimation of 276 jaundiced neonates were sent, and simultaneously, TcB was measured at forehead and sternum on admission and 12 hourly till discontinuation of phototherapy as per the American Academy of Pediatrics nomogram chart and their correlation was assessed. The effect of phototherapy on correlation of TcB and TSB during and after phototherapy was also observed. The correlation between TSB and TcB was linear and significant for the entire study population over forehead (Pearson's
