Guidelines and Interventions Related to the Postpartum Visit for Low-Risk Postpartum Women in High and Upper Middle Income Countries.
Review 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 20 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
Objectives A two-part review was undertaken to: (1) summarize current guidelines on the timing and frequency of postpartum follow-up care for generally healthy, non-high risk postpartum women and to delineate the evidence on which these guidelines are based; and, (2) summarize the results of intervention studies focused on increasing utilization of the postpartum visit for generally healthy, non-high risk postpartum women. Methods A review of guidelines from high and upper middle income countries published between 2000 and 2016 in English related to non-high risk postpartum follow-up visits was conducted in 2014-2016 using four databases and additional sources. In addition, articles published between 1990 and 2016 which evaluated interventions from high to upper middle income countries related to increasing attendance at the postpartum visit were gathered using three databases. Results This review located eight guidelines, all of which relied on expert opinion/group consensus as the evidence for their recommendations regarding the timing of the postpartum visit. The review located 19 intervention studies focused on increasing use of the postpartum visit; in 12 there was statistically significant evidence that these approaches improved utilization. However, no intervention strategy was evaluated more than a few times and many of the evaluations were relatively dated. Conclusions Guidelines for the timing of the postpartum visit are variable and are typically based on weak evidence; however, there is support for increased flexibility to meet women's needs. Additionally, while there is a diverse set of promising interventions to increase utilization of the postpartum visit, there is limited evaluative information. Future initiatives should focus on more rigorous evaluation.
