Rural-urban residence and sequelae of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the first year postpartum, 2007 - 2019.

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
objectivesTo estimate the association between rural residence and sequelae of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in the first year postpartum. STUDY
designWe used the Maine Health Data Organization's All Payer Claims Data to identify women with HDP who delivered during 2007-2019 and did not have chronic hypertension or pre-pregnancy cardiac conditions (n = 8882). We used Cox proportional hazards modeling to estimate rural-urban hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusting for HDP subtype, age, insurance, nulliparity, and co-morbidities. Results were stratified by HDP subtype and timing of acute care visits.
main outcome measuresRisk of at least one emergency room or inpatient visit related to hypertension or cardiovascular conditions in the first year postpartum and receipt of outpatient antihypertensive medications from 4 days to 1 year postpartum, separately.
resultsOverall, risk of at least one acute care visit in the first year postpartum was not different between rural vs urban women (4.2% vs 4.2%; adjusted HR 0.98; 95% CI 0.79,1.21), and outpatient receipt of antihypertensive medication was not different (12.9% vs 12.8%; adjusted HR 0.99; 95% CI 0.87, 1.12). However, stratified analyses suggested some differences (e.g. preeclampsia with severe features: acute care visit adjusted HR 1.54; 95% CI 0.95, 2.49).
conclusionsRural and urban women do not differ in the risks of these common HDP sequelae, though rural women may have increased risk by HDP subtype or timing of acute care visit. Future research should investigate postpartum interventions for reducing HDP sequelae in rural and urban women.
