Beyond Colonization: An Atypical Presentation of Maternal Group B Streptococcus Infection.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Group B Streptococcus (GBS), a commensal species that colonizes the genitourinary and GI tracts of many women, is well-studied as a leading cause of neonatal infection in the United States. Maternal colonization is the primary risk factor for neonatal sepsis, with vertical transmission from mother to fetus occurring during delivery. To reduce this risk, universal screening and intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis have been implemented. While many women who test positive for colonization are asymptomatic, a small subset may develop invasive GBS infections such as bacteremia, meningitis, or pneumonia. In this report, we describe a rare presentation of invasive maternal GBS in a 32-year-old woman with GBS bacteremia and associated cellulitis. The patient was appropriately treated with antibiotics at the time of presentation and again during delivery. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and reporting atypical manifestations of GBS infection in pregnancy to better characterize the full spectrum of the disease.
