Prevalence of group B streptococcus colonization in Iranian pregnant women: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in International journal of reproductive biomedicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundGroup B Streptococcus (GBS) is an important pathogen in newborns and pregnant women.
objectiveThe present study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of GBS colonization in pregnant women in Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guideline using the national databases including Society for Information Display, Magiran, Irandoc, Iran Medex, and international databases including MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science-Direct, Cochrane, Embase, Elton Bryson Stephens Company, Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Google Scholar, published by 01/30/2017. The I
resultsIn a total of 667 documents, 30 (4.49%) were selected. In this study, the prevalence of GBS colonization in 10090 Iranian pregnant women was calculated as 13.65% [confidence interval (CI): 95%: 10.56-17.45]. Based on geographic region, 24.63% [CI: 95%: 11.52-45.06] in the West and 8.75% [CI: 95%: 6.43-11.8] in the East were the highest and lowest areas in Iran, respectively, and were statistically significant (
conclusionTherefore, based on the recommendation of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as reported by the Ministry of Health and Medical education, early diagnosis, and screening of high-risk women should be done at 35-37 weeks of pregnancy.
