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

objectivesTo determine the occurrence of Group B

methodsThis retrospective study was carried out at the Maternity and Child Hospital in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, between 2017-2022. The laboratory and clinical data of 64 neonates were collected and analyzed using GraphPad Prism 7 software.

resultsOut of 16,022 neonates admitted to the nursery, 64 infants were diagnosed with GBS infection. Approximately 53.1% were male, 46.9% female, 15.6% were preterm, and 84.4% were full-term. Vaginal births accounted for 71.9%. The mean onset age was 10±12.4 days. Among the GBS patients, 53.1% had early-onset disease (EOD, 0-6 days), while 46.9% had late-onset disease (LOD, 7-90 days). Unexamined mothers had a higher incidence of GBS and EOD newborns (

conclusionNeonatal GBS infection is prevalent in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah. Several risk factors may contribute to the occurrence of GBS infection including preterm labor, higher body temperature during delivery, prolonged premature rupture of membranes for more than 18 hours, and GBS bacteriuria. We recommend that larger multi-centric studies are needed in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, to study the magnitude of neonatal GBS infection and risk factors to develop a screening protocol in maternity and children's hospital.
