Factors influencing early postnatal care use among postpartum women in Afghanistan.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Using postnatal care (PNC) within the first week following childbirth is crucial, as both the mother and her baby are particularly vulnerable to infections and mortality during this period. In this study, we examined the factors associated with early postnatal care (EPNC) use in Afghanistan. We used data from the multiple indicator cluster survey (MICS) 2022-2023. The study population was ever-married women who delivered a live child during their recent pregnancy within the 2 years preceding MICS 2022-23. The outcome was EPNC and defined as the first check of the mother within the first week of delivery. A binary logistic regression was used, and odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI were obtained. Out of 12,578 women, 16.0% received EPNC. EPNC was lower in women who delivered at home [AOR 0.35 (95% CI 0.28-0.44)] compared with women who delivered at public clinics. EPNC was higher in women with ≥ 4 antenatal care (ANC) visits [1.29 (1.02-162)], in women in the highest quintile of wealth status [1.70 (1.25-2.32)], and in women with access to radio [1.76 (1.45-2.15)]. EPNC use among Afghan women remains low (16.0%). Key factors associated with ENPC utilization include place of delivery, ANC utilization, wealth status, and radio access.
