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

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, including chronic and pregnancy-induced hypertension, pose significant risks to maternal health. This study evaluated the association of New York State (NYS)'s Paid Family Leave (PFL) law, implemented in 2018, with postpartum healthcare utilization among women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Methods: Using commercial claims data (2017-2022) for 312 470 employed women aged 15-45 years with live births, we assessed postpartum outpatient visits, hospital admissions, and medication adherence. Results: The PFL law was associated with a 3.7%-point increase in outpatient visits within 7 days postpartum for women with chronic hypertension (from 25.9% to 29.6% in NYS, Conclusion: Study findings suggest that PFL laws may enhance postpartum hypertension management, providing useful insights for policymakers aiming to improve maternal health outcomes through workplace policies.
