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.

Abstract
Introduction For uncomplicated pregnancies in the United States, a healthcare visit 4 to 6 weeks postpartum is recommended to assess a woman's mental, social, and physical health. We studied whether sociodemographic characteristics and pregnancy and delivery factors were related to the likelihood of missing a postpartum checkup. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 64,952 women who completed the United States Centers for Disease Control Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) Phase 6 survey in 2009-2011 from 17 states and New York City that included a Yes/No question about receiving a maternal postpartum checkup. We calculated risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) to assess the association between maternal factors and lack of a postpartum checkup. Results Compared to women who attended a postpartum checkup (89.4%), women who missed the visit (10.6%) were younger, unmarried, less educated, with lower income, without insurance, and smokers (all p < 0.05). Compared to women with adequate prenatal care, women with intermediate (RR 1.79 (95% CI 1.70-1.88)) or inadequate (RR 2.71 (95% CI 2.53-2.91)) care were more likely to miss the checkup. Women were more likely to miss this checkup if their infant was born at a residence compared to a hospital (RR 2.27 (95% CI 1.71-3.01)), and were less likely to miss the checkup if their newborn had a 1-week well visit (RR 0.70 (95% CI 0.61-0.81)). Discussion Sociodemographic factors and noncompliance with other medical care were associated with missing a postpartum checkup. Women with a high-risk of not attending a postpartum visit should be targeted for interventions to increase their accessibility to care.
