Is expectant management of late preterm prelabor rupture of membranes an option in patients with Group B streptococcus colonization?

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
objectiveTo evaluate whether expectant management of late preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) in patients colonized with Group B streptococcus (GBS) is associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. STUDY
designThis cohort study analyzed data from singleton pregnancies complicated by late PPROM between 34
resultsA total of 217 patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. Among these, 98 (45.2%) were identified as GBS carriers, and 119 (54.8%) were noncarriers. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the rates of chorioamnionitis (2.1% versus 0.5% P = 0.23), neonatal fever (2.1% versus 1.7% P = 0.42) latency from PPROM to delivery and adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes between GBS carriers and noncarriers.
conclusionExpectant management of GBS-colonized women with late PPROM, when accompanied by appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis and close maternal-fetal surveillance is not significantly associated with adverse outcomes and appears to be a safe option. These findings reinforce the need for evidence-based, individualized management strategies for GBS colonization in late PPROM.
