The row polynomials can be further factorized, since -3 - x + x^2 + 3*x^3 = -(1-x)*(3 + 4*x + 3*x^2) and 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 = (1+x)*(1+x^2).
The rule for constructing this triangle (ignoring row 0) is the same as that for A008287: each number is the sum of the four numbers immediately above it in the previous row. Here row 1 is [-3, -1, 1, 3] instead of [1, 1, 1, 1].

-3, -1, 1, 3;
-3, -4, -3, 0, 3, 4, 3;

-3, -10, -20, -30, -31, -20, 0, 20, 31, 30, 20, 10, 3;
-3, -13, -33, -63, -91, -101, -81, -31, 31, 81, 101, 91, 63, 33, 13, 3;
