Rapid Point-of-care Testing to Inform Intrapartum Treatment of Group B
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Maternal Group B Methods: In phase 1, 1294 rectal and vaginal swabs were collected from pregnant women and inoculated in enrichment (Lim) broth, which was then tested using the HG GBS LAMP assay ( Results: Overall, the HG GBS LAMP assay detected more GBS-positive samples (31.3%; 452/1445) than culture-based methods (13.3%; 192/1445). Multiplex polymerase chain reaction-tested results were concordant with LAMP results in 96.3% of cases. The sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay, after adjusting for the tiebreaker results of discordant samples, were 94.4% (95% confidence interval, 86.2-99.4) and 99.0% (95% confidence interval, 94.3-100), respectively. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate high sensitivity and specificity of the HG GBS LAMP assay for the detection of GBS rectovaginal colonization in our setting. Given its rapid turnaround time, the HG GBS LAMP assay could appropriately be used to screen women for GBS rectovaginal colonization during labor to enable provision of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis.
