Continued early onset group B streptococcal infections in the era of intrapartum prophylaxis.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
objectiveThe objective of the study was to determine the rate of early onset group B streptococcus (EOGBS) infection in Utah and identify potential areas of failure in EOGBS prevention. STUDY
designWe queried the microbiology records of Intermountain Healthcare for infants with culture-confirmed EOGBS between 1 January 2002 and 31 May 2006 and calculated rates of EOGBS per 1000 deliveries. We reviewed the infant and maternal records of each EOGBS case to identify possible failures in EOGBS prevention.
resultThere were 54 cases of EOGBS among the 127 205 births (0.42/1000 births). Of all, 12 were preterm. Of the 39 (93%) women prenatally screened for GBS, 31 (79%) had negative results and 7/8 (88%) women with positive prenatal GBS screens either did not receive intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) or received inadequate IAP. Of the 54 infants with EOGBS, 3 (6%) died.
conclusionUtah's rates of EOGBS were higher than the national average. Factors associated with EOGBS include missed screening opportunities, inadequate IAP, and false-negative maternal GBS culture.
