Colonization Rate of Potential Neonatal Disease-Causing Bacteria, Associated Factors, and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profile Among Pregnant Women Attending Government Hospitals in Hawassa, Ethiopia.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. 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
introductionVaginal colonization with some species of bacteria during the last term of pregnancy can affect the health of fetuses and newborns resulting in high morbidity and mortality among newborns.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the colonization rate of potential neonatal disease-causing bacteria, factors associated with colonization rate, and the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of bacteria among pregnant women.
methodsInstitution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on pregnant women from October 13 to December 28, 2020, at government hospitals located in Hawassa, Ethiopia. Background data were captured using a structured questionnaire. Vaginal swabs were collected to isolate bacteria using the standard method. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed using the modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Factors that could predict vaginal colonization with potential neonatal disease-causing bacteria were determined using logistic regression.
resultsOverall bacterial colonization rate among pregnant women was 271 (98.9%) 95 CI (97.4‒100.1). The prevalence of potential neonatal disease-causing bacteria was 95 (34.7%) 95 CI (28.8‒40.1). The proportion of potential neonatal disease-causing bacteria were as follows:
conclusionHigh proportion of pregnant women in this study were colonized with potential neonatal disease-causing bacteria.
