Racial disparities in intrapartum group B Streptococcus colonization: a higher incidence of conversion in African American women.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveTo compare the incidence of group B Streptococcus (GBS) conversion from a negative antepartum to a positive intrapartum culture among women who self-identify as non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, or non-Hispanic white. STUDY
designThis was a prospective cohort study of women with a negative rectovaginal GBS culture obtained within 35 days of enrollment. An intrapartum rectovaginal swab was collected and cultured for GBS. Data were compared with chi-square, Fisher's exact, or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Modified Poisson regression was used.
resultsWe enrolled 737 women; 75.4% were non-Hispanic white, 17.6% were non-Hispanic black, and 6.9% were Hispanic. Non-Hispanic black women were more likely to convert to GBS positive than non-Hispanic white women, 9.2% as compared to 5.3% (RR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.02-3.8).
conclusionThe increased incidence of positive intrapartum GBS cultures among non-Hispanic black women suggests that non-Hispanic black race is a risk factor for GBS conversion in the late third trimester.
