A Longitudinal Study of Changes in Prenatal Care Utilization Between First and Second Births and Low Birth Weight.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectivesBecause previous analyses of prenatal care (PNC) utilization and risk of low birth weight (LBW) may have been influenced by selection bias, we conducted a study using longitudinal data of women with repeat pregnancies.
methodsWe analyzed Washington State birth certificates of first and second live births (2003-2012). We estimated relative risk (RR) of LBW at second birth associated with Kotelchuck Index PNC level among women stratified by level of PNC in their first birth (n = 67,571).
resultsAmong women with inadequate PNC prior to their first birth (n = 10,355), women with intermediate or adequate PNC before their second birth (n = 7464) had a reduced risk of LBW (adjusted RR 0.61, 95% CI: 0.48, 0.78) compared to those whose PNC level remained inadequate. Likewise, among women with intermediate or adequate PNC prior to their first birth (n = 57,216), those with inadequate PNC before the second birth (n = 7095) had higher risk of LBW (adjusted RR 1.59, 95% CI: 1.36, 1.85) compared to those who remained at intermediate or adequate PNC.
conclusionsOur findings support the hypothesis that PNC decreases LBW risk at second birth, independent of factors related to the utilization of PNC at first birth.
