Disparities in Maternal Health Visits Between Rural and Urban Communities in the United States, 2016-2018.
Article in The Permanente journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveThe objective was to estimate the rural-urban differences in the receipt of prepregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum services.
methodsThe authors conducted a cross-sectional data analysis using data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment and Monitoring System from 2016 to 2018 to analyze rural-urban differences in the receipt of medical visits and care content delivery during the prepregnancy year, as well as the prenatal and postpartum periods among birthing people in the US, using survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression models.
resultsRural-dwelling birthing people were significantly less likely to attend a medical visit in the prepregnancy year or postpartum period, even when controlled for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Compared to their urban counterparts, they were also less likely to receive comprehensive screening and counseling in the prepregnancy and postpartum maternity phases.
conclusionEfforts to ameliorate rural-urban differences in maternal care access and quality should explicitly adopt multilevel, systemic approaches to policy and program implementation and evaluation. Policymakers and practitioners should consider telehealth as a potential complementary tool to minimize gaps in quality of care which disproportionately impact rural-dwelling birthing people.
