Starter Kit for Geotagging and Geovisualization in Health Care: Resource Paper.
Article in JMIR formative research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundGeotagging is the process of attaching geospatial tags to various media data types. In health care, the goal of geotagging is to gain a better understanding of health-related questions applied to populations. Although there has been a prevalence of geographic information in public health, in order to effectively use and expand geotagging across health care there is a requirement to understand other factors such as the disposition, standardization, data sources, technologies, and limitations.
objectiveThe objective of this document is to serve as a resource for new researchers in the field. This report aims to be comprehensive but easy for beginners to understand and adopt in practice. The optimal geocodes, their sources, and a rationale for use are suggested. Geotagging's issues and limitations are also discussed.
methodsA comprehensive review of technical instructions and articles was conducted to evaluate guidelines for geotagging, and online resources were curated to support the implementation of geotagging practices. Summary tables were developed to describe the available geotagging resources (free and for fee) that can be leveraged by researchers and quality improvement personnel to effectively perform geospatial analyses primarily targeting US health care.
resultsThis paper demonstrated steps to develop an initial geotagging and geovisualization project with clear structure and instructions. The geotagging resources were summarized. These resources are essential for geotagging health care projects. The discussion section provides better understanding of geotagging's limitations and suggests suitable way to approach it.
conclusionsWe explain how geotagging can be leveraged in health care and offer the necessary initial resources to obtain geocodes, adjustment data, and health-related measures. The resources outlined in this paper can support an individual and/or organization in initiating a geotagging health care project.
