As long as you took the missed pill the next day ("doubled-up"), the effectiveness would not decrease significantly. There are no exact numbers, but women who miss one pill and take it as soon as they remember do not have an increased chance of pregnancy.
Since you took your missed pill, and the following pill, late by a few hours, you may have a slight decrease in effectiveness, but one day of a missed pill does not typically effect the pill's effectiveness during the third week.
