Fig 4. Analysis for peripheral PCR-confimed infection at delivery.

Note: Analyses adjusted by trial arm, gravidity, literacy, gestational age at recruitment, MUAC, anaemia at recruitment, adherence to the treatment (IPTp), and season at recruitment. Weights and between-subgroup heterogeneity test are from random-effects model. Tanzania (I), HIV-uninfected participants, and Tanzania (II), HIV-infected participants, were excluded from the analysis since no cases of PCR-confirmed peripheral infection at delivery were found among study participants in the site. CI, confidence interval; DL, DerSimonian–Laird random effects model; MUAC, mid-upper arm circumference; OR, odds ratio.
