Trends in Postpartum Contraceptive Use in 20 U.S. States and Jurisdictions: The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, 2015-2018.

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
introductionIn the last decade, state and national programs and policies aimed to increase access to postpartum contraception; however, recent data on population-based estimates of postpartum contraception is limited.
methodsUsing Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data from 20 sites, we conducted multivariable-adjusted weighted multinomial regression to assess variation in method use by insurance status and geographic setting (urban/rural) among people with a recent live birth in 2018. We analyzed trends in contraceptive method use from 2015 to 2018 overall and within subgroups using weighted multinomial logistic regression.
resultsIn 2018, those without insurance had lower odds of using permanent methods (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.53-0.98), long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) (AOR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.51-0.89), and short-acting reversible contraception (SARC) (AOR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.47-0.81) than those with private insurance. There were no significant differences in these method categories between public and private insurance. Rural respondents had greater odds than urban respondents of using all method categories: permanent (AOR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.67-2.77), LARC (AOR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.04-1.65), SARC (AOR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.15-1.76), and less effective methods (AOR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.11-1.72). From 2015 to 2018, there was an increase in LARC use (odds ratio [OR], 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05) and use of no method (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.07) and a decrease in SARC use (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.95-0.99). LARC use increased among those with private insurance (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.08) and in urban settings (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.02-1.07), but not in other subgroups.
conclusionsWe found that those without insurance had lower odds of using effective contraception and that LARC use increased among those who had private insurance and lived in urban areas. Strategies to increase access to contraception, including increasing insurance coverage and investigating whether effectiveness of existing initiatives varies by geographic setting, may increase postpartum contraceptive use and address these differences.
