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

backgroundAt the request of the AAP, consensus-based recommendations for managing hyperbilirubinemia in infants < 35 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA) were published in 2012. Subsequently, a PMA-based graphical format of these recommendations was popularized as Premie BiliRecs, providing decision support for infants ≥ 27 weeks' PMA and ≥ 48 h old.

methodsChronologic age-based guidelines based on gestational age (GA) at birth were derived from the consensus-based recommendations and modified with integration of the AAP hyperbilirubinemia guidelines and extension of decision support for a minimum of 14 days. These guidelines were implemented in an electronic medical record.

resultsThe modified consensus guidelines provide support from birth for all infants < 35 weeks' GA and address limitations of the current graphical tools. An interactive tool illustrating these guidelines is available at https://bilirubin-guidelines.net . (Contact your institutional IT department if access to the website is blocked).

conclusionsThese modified consensus guidelines expand decision support for infants < 35 weeks' GA with a format harmonized with the AAP graphs.
