You don't. If you had no backup, then outside of whatever was being synced to iCloud if anything was, there's no magical way to retrieve any data.


Log in to https://icloud.com with the Apple ID logged in to iCloud on the iPhone and see if there's anything there.


Otherwise, unless you manually turned it off, the iPhone should be backing up nightly to iCloud automatically when its connected to power and wifi, so its possible there may be a backup. Though you won't see it on https://icloud.com


You would need to restore an iOS device to see the available backups.
