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
Importance: Understanding the dynamic interplay between gut microbiota development and bilirubin metabolism may provide new insights into the pathophysiology of neonatal jaundice. Identifying microbial taxa associated with bilirubin fluctuations could help inform early prediction and microbiota-targeted interventions for hyperbilirubinemia. Objective: To investigate the correlation between dynamic changes in the gut microbiota and bilirubin concentrations during the neonatal period. Methods: Bilirubin concentrations were monitored daily throughout the neonatal period. Fecal samples were collected from neonates on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after birth. The composition of the gut microbiome was assessed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of the fecal samples. Within-subject, same-day associations between transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) and genus-level abundance were quantified using a repeated-measures correlation. Results: Thirty neonates were included in the final analysis. Among the top-30 genera, six exhibited false discovery rate significant, same-day within-subject associations with TcB under the repeated-measures correlation framework (|r Interpretation: A correlation was found between dynamic changes in the gut microbiome and bilirubin concentrations during the neonatal period. The identified genera might be potential markers or targets for intervention for neonatal jaundice.
