Postpartum care screenings by care modality among US mothers, 2020-2021.

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
backgroundPostpartum care is critical to preventing pregnancy-associated deaths. Virtual modes of care have potential to improve access to postpartum care; however, the impact on postpartum screenings for cigarette smoking, emotional/physical abuse, and depression is unknown.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare receipt of these screenings between mothers who received any virtual postpartum care and those whose care was exclusively in-person. STUDY
designUsing the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System Phase 8 data, we estimated receipt of postpartum care screenings for smoking, emotional/physical abuse, and depression for US mothers during COVID-19 (2020-2021) and assessed differences by mode of care. The analytical sample (n=21,815) included mothers from 28 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System study sites who had postpartum care and answered the mode of care question and all 3 postpartum screening questions.
resultsOver half of all mothers were screened for cigarette smoking (56.45%) and emotional/physical abuse (59.28%) during their postpartum care, whereas screening for depression was much more prevalent (87.63%). A higher percentage of screenings for smoking, emotional/physical abuse, and depression was reported for mothers who received any virtual postpartum care compared with those who attended exclusively in-person care (all
conclusionVirtual postpartum care may improve the percentage of women receiving screenings for important maternal health risks and behaviors, such as cigarette smoking, emotional/physical abuse, and depression. Further research is needed to determine whether mothers receiving virtual postpartum care are more likely to receive screenings because of the mode of care itself.
