Association Between the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic and National Disparities in Postpartum Visit Attendance.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This study used data from PRAMS (Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System) between 2016 and 2020 and found that postpartum visit attendance declined by 5.8 (95% CI -6.4 to -5.2) percentage points in the first 9 months of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The greatest declines occurred among non-Hispanic Black individuals (-9.9, 95% CI -11.6 to -8.1 percentage points), individuals aged 19 years or younger (-9.9, 95% CI -13.5 to -6.2 percentage points), and individuals without postpartum insurance (-11.4, 95% CI -14.5 to -8.3 percentage points). Although the pandemic was associated with a decrease in reporting common barriers to attendance, including lack of transportation and not being able to leave work, it introduced new barriers that potentially contributed to widened disparities in postpartum care. A combination of health policy and health system approaches are needed to increase postpartum visit attendance and reduce disparities in use.
