Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on racial disparities in postpartum visits at a Texas level IV maternal center.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: The primary aim of our study was to determine the attendance of postpartum visits stratified by race and if the COVID-19 pandemic affected racial disparities in postpartum visit attendance. Methods: We searched our labor and delivery records from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and included patients who delivered liveborn infants. The final analysis was restricted to patients who identified as White or Caucasian only, Black or African American only, or Hispanic. We then performed joint tests on the logistic regression with an interaction term of race and year of delivery to determine the final model. Results: The odds ratio of Black or African American and Hispanic patients attending a postpartum visit was 0.589 (95% CI 0.456, 0.760; Conclusion: Black or African American patients at our hospital had a clinically and statistically significant lower utilization of postpartum visits compared to White or Caucasian patients and this disparity was not exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
