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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesPhototherapy is an effective first-line treatment for neonatal jaundice. Previous studies have demonstrated a linear dose-dependent relationship between irradiance and bilirubin reduction during intensive phototherapy up to approximately 55 μW/cm

methodsHere, phototherapy delivered at estimated irradiance levels >55 μW/cm

resultsOnly one neonate required exchange transfusion. In multivariable analysis, the bilirubin reduction rate was associated with estimated irradiance (

conclusionsHigher estimated irradiance was associated with greater bilirubin reduction up to 148 μW/cm
