Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Postnatal care is essential for mothers and their children to address any future problems and provide the mothers crucial health information. Most maternal and newborn deaths occur during postnatal period. Maternal mortality can be significantly reduced by increasing the utilization of postnatal care service. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and factors associated with postnatal care (PNC) service utilization among mothers in Bangladesh. Methods: This study utilized the latest data from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2022. A total of 4899 mothers were included for the analysis. Two level binary logistic regression was used to identify associated factors with PNC utilization. Results: Around 61.6% of mothers utilized PNC service from a medically trained provider within 42 days after delivery. The prevalence was higher among women in Khulna division (79.1%) and lowest was (48.9%) in Sylhet division. In this study, among individual level variables, respondent education, wealth index, place of delivery, mode of delivery and Antenatal care (ANC) visits were significantly associated with PNC utilization. At the community level, community ANC visits and division had a significant association on the utilization of PNC services. Among the significant individual-level factors, it was found that the place of delivery and the mode of delivery exhibited considerable randomness across different communities. Conclusion: PNC utilization was significantly associated both individual- and community-level variables. Targeted strategies should be developed to improve PNC utilization, especially in administrative divisions with lower education levels. It is crucial to ensure that women receive at least eight antenatal care visits, and those delivering at home should be strongly encouraged to seek PNC service to improve maternal and child health outcomes.
