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: Group B Presentation of case: A 52-day-old full-term female infant presented with fever and localized erythema in the lumbar region on the day of symptom onset. Her mother had tested positive for GBS during pregnancy and received intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis. On admission, her vital signs were as follows: temperature, 37.8 °C; heart rate, 124 bpm; respiratory rate, 28 breaths/min; and blood pressure, 100/62 mmHg. Physical examination revealed no other signs of skin infection. Blood and throat cultures were positive for GBS (serotype Ib), and magnetic resonance imaging ruled out osteomyelitis or abscess. Lumbar puncture was deferred because of the location of the inflammation. The patient received intravenous ampicillin for 21 days. The fever and erythema alleviated rapidly by day 2 of hospitalization. Conclusion: Lumbar cellulitis is an unusual manifestation of LOD. Although breast milk has been implicated in recurrent GBS infections, current evidence does not support the routine cessation of breastfeeding after a single episode. The findings from this case highlight the importance of recognizing the atypical presentations of GBS
