The Relationship between Jaundice and Weight Loss after Birth in Neonates Referring to the KOSAR Hospital, Qazvin-Iran : Short title: Jaundice and Weight Loss.
Article in Galen medical journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: This study aimed to determine the association between the incidence of neonatal jaundice and the weight loss of newborns in postnatal days. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 infants with jaundice were examined. The required information was obtained from the medical records. In this study, newborns were divided into two groups based on hyperbilirubinemia. Bilirubin level was compared in two groups on the fourth day of referral. Effect of weight loss was determined on hyperbilirubinemia by logistic regression. Results: The study compared 137 healthy neonates with 53 hyperbilirubinemic neonates, finding significantly greater weight loss (0.25±0.18 kg vs. 0.09±0.11 kg, P0.001) and higher bilirubin levels (17.13±1.05 vs. 12.60±1.89 mg/dL, P0.001) in the latter group. Hyperbilirubinemic neonates had younger mothers (27.23±3.26 vs. 28.63±3.21 years, P=0.007), lower nulliparity (60.4% vs. 75.9%, P=0.033), and higher breastfeeding rates (96.2% vs. 18.6%, P0.001). Logistic regression confirmed weight loss as a strong predictor (aOR=2.14×106, P0.001), with ROC analysis showing high diagnostic accuracy (AUC=0.86-0.88). Optimal cutoffs were 0.175 kg (89% sensitivity) and 4.95% weight loss (91% sensitivity). Maternal and neonatal blood groups also influenced risk. Conclusion: Neonates at risk need to be more closely monitored for jaundice and weighting, thus, early detection and timely treatment can be done.
