Women's Use of Health Care in the First 2 Years Postpartum: Occurrence and Correlates.
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 26 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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 We sought to determine rates and correlates of accessing health care in the 2 years following delivery among women at an urban academic medical center. Methods We used electronic medical records, discharge, and billing data to determine the occurrence of primary care, other non-primary outpatient care, emergency department visits, and inpatient admissions among women delivering at a single medical center who had a known primary care affiliation to that medical center over a 5 year period. We explored sociodemographic, clinical, and health care-related factors as correlates of care, using bivariate and multivariable modeling. Results Of 6216 women studied, most (91 %) had had at least one health care visit in the window between 2 months and 2 years postpartum (the "late postpartum period"). The majority (81 %) had had a primary care visit. Factors associated with use of health care in this period included a chronic medical condition diagnosed prior to pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.42, 95 % CI [1.19, 1.71]), prenatal care received in an urban community health center (AOR 1.35 [1.06, 1.73]), having received obstetric (AOR 1.90 [1.51, 2.37]), primary (AOR 2.30 [1.68, 3.23]), or other non-primary outpatient care (AOR 2.35 [1.72, 3.39]) in the first 2 months postpartum, and living closer to the hospital [AOR for residence >17.8 miles from the medical center (AOR 0.74 [0.61, 0.90])]. Having had an obstetrical complication did not increase the likelihood of receipt of care during this window. Conclusions for Practice Among women already enrolled in a primary care practice at our medical center, health care utilization in the late postpartum period is high, but not universal. Understanding the characteristics of women who return for health care during this window, and where they are seen, can improve transitions of care across the life course and can provide opportunities for important and consistent interconception and well-woman messaging.
