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

backgroundWe hypothesized that patients who engaged with a proprietary smartphone application designed to improve maternal care would be more likely to attend a comprehensive postpartum visit.

methodsAfter receiving institutional review board approval and a waiver of informed consent, study investigators collected data on patients who delivered live-born infants at Baylor Scott & White hospitals located in College Station, Round Rock, and Temple, Texas, from September 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. We performed a bivariate analysis between patients who did and did not engage with the proprietary smartphone application and a multivariate logistic regression with variables of interest to determine which characteristics were independently associated with attendance at a comprehensive postpartum visit.

resultsThere were 4153 patients in the final analysis, and 492 patients (12%) engaged with a proprietary smartphone application at least once. In multivariate logistic regression, engagement with a propriety smartphone application at least once was independently associated with attendance at a comprehensive postpartum visit (adjusted odds ratio 1.58; 95% confidence interval 1.14-2.18; DISCUSSION: Patients who engaged with a proprietary smartphone application at least once were 58% more likely to have attended a comprehensive postpartum visit within 12 weeks of delivery.
