Is perinatal asphyxia associated with an increase in serum bilirubin in neonates? A case-control study.

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
Objective: Perinatal asphyxia affects different organs of body depending upon the severity of hypoxemia and ischemia. This study was carried out to evaluate severity of hyperbilirubinemia in relation to severity of asphyxia. Study Design: A case-control study. Methodology: Asphyxiated newborns with Apgar score ≤7 at 1 min. and categorized as severe birth asphyxia according to the WHO classification of diseases (ICD10) were matched with controls without birth asphyxia. All babies were examined twice daily for dermal icterus until start of phototherapy. Babies with congenital heart disease, sepsis, cephalohematoma, blood group incompatibility were excluded. Arterial blood gas analysis was done along with serial TSB measurement as per standard guidelines. Results: 50 cases and 50 matched controls were enrolled. The average birth weight and gestation in cases was 2427 ± 30.05 g and 35.9 ± 2.5 weeks and among control it was 2633 ± 378.62 g and 37.76 ± 0.116 weeks. Among cases, onset of jaundice was 56.64 ± 20.43 h compared to 63.36 ± 23 h in control group. In the cases, the average pH was 7.31 ± 0.06, CO Conclusion: The peak serum bilirubin in asphyxiated newborns occurs earlier, and plateau for longer duration compared to normal newborns. Low Apgar at 5 min. has significant correlation to earlier rise of bilirubin.
