High prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant group B streptococci among clinical isolates in China and predominance of sequence type 19 with serotype III.
Article in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
A total of 146 group B streptococcus isolates from 8 cities across China belonged to four serotypes. Serotype Ia was more common in children. A high prevalence of resistance was observed for levofloxacin (37.7%), erythromycin (71.2%), clindamycin, (53.4%), and tetracycline (81.5%). The levofloxacin and clindamycin resistances among the 4 serotypes differed significantly. Eighty percent of fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates belonged to the sequence type 19 (ST19)/serotype III clone, with GyrA-ParC-ParE triple substitutions. This clone carried the erm(B), mef(E), and tet(M) genes.
