1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe first 100 days after childbirth are important for women recovering from pregnancy and birth.

aimTo describe the most common clinical events or health needs documented in women's primary care records in the first 100 days after childbirth. DESIGN AND

settingCross-sectional study using electronic health records from UK primary care data.

methodPrimary care records were examined from childbirth up to 100 days after childbirth for women aged 16-49 years who had given birth to a single live infant between 2006 and 2016 using IQVIA Medical Research Data. The most common clinical events or health needs based on documented symptoms, diagnoses, and medications were identified. How these varied by patient characteristic was explored.

resultsIn total, 925 712 contacts were identified during the 100 days following 309 573 births. Women were most likely to use primary care to have a postnatal visit or check (60.6%,

conclusionPrimary care services should seek to match the needs of new mothers, taking account of a high volume of contacts, for a broad range of planned and responsive care following childbirth.
