CARRIAGE OF MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT UROBACTERIA BY ASYMPTOMATIC PREGNANT WOMEN IN YENAGOA, BAYELSA STATE, NIGERIA.

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
backgroundUrinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in pregnancy are associated with significant morbidity for both mother and baby but its early detection and treatments can prevent unfavorable complications in pregnancy. This study therefore determined the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria and antimicrobial resistance profile of the urinary bacteria among pregnant women in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. MATERIALS AND
methodsMid-stream urine samples were collected from 201 apparently healthy pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Yenagoa. The samples were analyzed and the organisms identified using standard microbiological methods. Haemolysin production by the organisms was screened and their antimicrobial susceptibility was performed using standard assay methods.
resultsA high significant bacteriuria of 119 (59.2%) was predominantly recovered from the pregnant women in their second and third trimesters. The bacteria isolated;
conclusionThe high prevalence of significant bacteriuria with high multi-drug resistance among the study pregnant women call for regular education on proper personal hygiene and the need for early screening for UTIs during antenatal clinics as means of controlling the spread of antibiotic resistant organisms and complications in pregnancy.
