Handheld diffuse reflectance spectroscopy system for noninvasive quantification of neonatal bilirubin and hemoglobin concentrations: a pilot study.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The prevalence rate of neonatal jaundice can reach 80%, of which 5% may develop dangerous hemolytic jaundice. The blood test for obtaining bilirubin and hemoglobin concentration is the gold standard for diagnosing hemolytic jaundice; however, frequently drawing blood from jaundice neonates for the screening purpose is not practical. We have developed a handheld diffuse reflectance spectroscopy system to noninvasively determine the bilirubin and hemoglobin levels in neonates. Our study showed that the correlation coefficients were 0.95 and 0.80 for bilirubin and hemoglobin between the results from the blood tests and our handheld system, respectively. This handheld system could be an effective tool for screening hemolytic jaundice.
