Risk factors for postpartum readmission among women after having a stillbirth.
Article in American journal of obstetrics & gynecology MFM, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCompared to women with a live birth, women with a stillbirth are more likely to have maternal complications during pregnancy and at birth, but risk factors related to their postpartum health are uncertain.
objectiveThis study aimed to identify patient-level risk factors for postpartum hospital readmission among women after having a stillbirth. STUDY
designThis was a population-based cohort study of 29,654 women with a stillbirth in California from 1997 to 2011. Using logistic regression models, we examined the association of maternal patient-level factors with postpartum readmission among women after a stillbirth within 6 weeks of hospital discharge and between 6 weeks and 9 months after delivery.
resultsWithin 6 weeks after a stillbirth, 642 women (2.2%) had a postpartum readmission. Risk factors for postpartum readmission after a stillbirth were severe maternal morbidity excluding transfusion (adjusted odds ratio, 3.02; 95% confidence interval, 2.28-4.00), transfusion at delivery but no other indication of severe maternal morbidity (adjusted odds ratio, 1.95; 95% confidence interval, 1.35-2.81), gestational hypertension or preeclampsia (adjusted odds ratio, 1.93; 95% confidence interval, 1.54-2.42), prepregnancy hypertension (adjusted odds ratio, 1.80; 95% confidence interval, 1.36-2.37), diabetes mellitus (adjusted odds ratio, 1.78; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-2.37), antenatal hospitalization (adjusted odds ratio, 1.78; 95% confidence interval, 1.43-2.21), cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 1.73; 95% confidence interval, 1.43-2.21), long length of stay in the hospital after delivery (>2 days for vaginal delivery and >4 days for cesarean delivery) (adjusted odds ratio, 1.59; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-1.89), non-Hispanic black race and ethnicity (adjusted odds ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.76), and having less than a high school education (adjusted odds ratio, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.80). From 6 weeks to 9 months, 1169 women (3.90%) had a postpartum readmission; significantly associated risk factors were largely similar to those for earlier readmission.
conclusionWomen with comorbidities, with birth-related complications, of non-Hispanic black race and ethnicity, or with less education had increased odds of postpartum readmission after having a stillbirth, highlighting the importance of continued care for these women after discharge from the hospital.
