1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of human neonatal infections and bovine mastitis. We report here the unusual finding of the human-adapted hypervirulent serotype III/ST17 clone in a bovine GBS isolated in 1987 in Brazil. This isolate shared several phenotypic and genotypic characteristics with serotype III/ST17 strains obtained from human sources, including PFGE pattern, pilus genes, lactose fermentation, DNase activity, and antimicrobial susceptibility profile, highlighting the importance of continued tracking of GBS in the One Health scope. The study brings new evidence for the potential interspecies transmission and sheds new light into evolution aspects of the pathogen Group B Streptococcus (GBS) by reporting the occurrence of an ancient bovine GBS isolate belonging to a variant currently known to be exclusively found in human hosts.
