1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWe analyze phototherapy rates after implementation of a Hyperbilirubinemia Clinical Pathway (HCP), which placed full-term ABOi DAT negative newborns on the low risk phototherapy nomogram, rather than medium risk, as previously done. STUDY

designA chart review was performed for ABOi newborns born ≥36 weeks gestation between January 2020 and October 2021. Primary outcome measures were rates of phototherapy across pre- and post-intervention groups and among DAT negative newborns.

resultsThere was an increased proportion of newborns assigned to the low risk curve after the intervention. There were no significant differences in phototherapy rates among the intervention groups, although there was a non-significant decrease in phototherapy rates among DAT negative newborns after the intervention. There were no increases in adverse outcomes.

conclusionsProviders adhered to the guidelines after implementation of the HCP. ABOi DAT negative newborns can be viewed as low risk for hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy.
