Healthcare Utilization in the Postpartum Period Among Illinois Women with Medicaid Paid Claims for Delivery, 2009-2010.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Purpose Postpartum care can provide the critical link between pregnancy and well-woman healthcare, improving women's health during the interconception period and beyond. However, little is known about current utilization patterns. This study describes the patterns of postpartum care experienced by Illinois women with Medicaid-paid deliveries. Methods Medicaid claims for women delivering infants in Illinois in 2009-2010 were analyzed for the receipt, timing and patterns of postpartum care, as identified through International Classification of Diseases Revision 9-Clinical Modification and Current Procedural Terminology© codes for routine postpartum care (43.4 % of visits), other postpartum services (e.g., depression screening, family planning), and other office visits for non-acute care. Results Over 90,000 visits to 55,577 women were identified, with 81.1 % of women experiencing any care during the first 90 days postpartum. Approximately 40 % had one visit, while 31 and 29 % had two and three or more visits, respectively. Thirty-four percent had their first visit <21 days postpartum, while 56 % had the first visit between 21 and 56 days postpartum. Compared with non-Hispanic whites, African-Americans had lower rates of receiving any care (73.6 vs. 86.5 %), fewer visits (48.0 vs. 33.5 % with only one visit), and later first visits (13.6 vs. 7.3 %, >56 days). Conclusions for Practice The vast majority of Illinois women with Medicaid-paid deliveries interact with the healthcare system during the first 3 months postpartum, though not always for a routine postpartum visit. Strategies to optimize postpartum health should encourage a higher level of coordination among services and linkage to well-woman care to improve subsequent women and infants' health outcomes.
