Determining Burden of Commuting for Treatment Using Online Mapping Services - A Study of Breast Cancer Patients.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
For patients with breast cancer who must frequent medical centers for care, commuting is a significant burden. This burden could affect their decisions during treatment. We developed a method to use census tracts and zip codes to determine commuting burden for patients with breast cancer with online mapping services, while protecting patient addresses from third parties. We found that patients who lived farther from Vanderbilt had fewer unique appointment days and more appointments scheduled per day. Total burden decreased over time after diagnosis, but advanced stage patients had sustained high levels of commute time until ten months after diagnosis. Additionally, we found that patients who lived far from Vanderbilt were less likely to receive radiotherapy from Vanderbilt. With the amount of work patients put into traveling for care, understanding commuting burden could help healthcare organizations form strategies to improve access to care and compliance with care plans.
