Understanding Postpartum Hospital Use Among Birthing People With Medicaid Insurance.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Individuals with Medicaid insurance are more likely to have pregnancy-related complications than individuals with private insurance, but previous research has not described postpartum hospital use in the population of patients with Medicaid. Using Medicaid claims data, we analyzed time to the first instance of postpartum hospital use during the postpartum year using Kaplan-Meier curves and described causes of postpartum hospital use at different postpartum windows. Among 1,626,056 birthing individuals, 20.7% had postpartum hospital use at 1 year postpartum. We found a higher proportion of postpartum hospital use after the typical 30-day postpartum analysis window than within the initial 30 days postpartum, with causes of postpartum hospital use shifting away from delivery-related causes over time. This highlights the need to better understand postpartum hospital use in the population of patients with Medicaid insurance, because 40% of births in the United States occur in this population.
