Clonal Complex 12 Serotype Ib Streptococcus agalactiae Strain Causing Complicated Sepsis in Neonates: Clinical Features and Genetic Characteristics.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus [GBS]) is well known to cause serious diseases in infants. A serotype Ib GBS strain has recently emerged and become prevalent in Southeast Asia. We aimed to investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of this strain. All neonates with invasive GBS diseases from a tertiary-level medical center in Taiwan between 2003 and 2020 were analyzed. The capsule serotyping, multilocus sequence typing, and antimicrobial resistance analyses were performed on all the invasive GBS isolates, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed specifically on the type Ib GBS strain. A total of 188 neonates with invasive GBS disease during the study period were identified. The type Ib GBS strain accounted for 7.4% (
