Evaluating the Inequality of Medical Service Accessibility Using Smart Card Data.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. 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
The measurement of medical service accessibility is typically based on driving or Euclidean distance. However, in most non-emergency cases, public transport is the travel mode used by the public to access medical services. Yet, there has been little evaluation of the public transport system-based inequality of medical service accessibility. This work uses massive real smart card data (SCD) and an improved potential model to estimate the public transport-based medical service accessibility in Beijing, China. These real SCD data are used to calculate travel costs in terms of time and distance, and medical service accessibility is estimated using an improved potential model. The spatiotemporal variations and patterns of medical service accessibility are explored, and the results show that it is unevenly spatiotemporally distributed across the study area. For example, medical service accessibility in urban areas is higher than that in suburban areas, accessibility during peak periods is higher than that during off-peak periods, and accessibility on weekends is generally higher than that on weekdays. To explore the association of medical service accessibility with socio-economic factors, the relationship between accessibility and house price is investigated via a spatial econometric analysis. The results show that, at a global level, house price is positively correlated with medical service accessibility. In particular, the medical service accessibility of a higher-priced spatial housing unit is lower than that of its neighboring spatial units, owing to the positive spatial spillover effect of house price. This work sheds new light on the inequality of medical service accessibility from the perspective of public transport, which may benefit urban policymakers and planners.
