Disparity in Access to Oncology Precision Care: A Geospatial Analysis of Driving Distances to Genetic Counselors in the U.S.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
In the US, the growing demand for precision medicine, particularly in oncology, continues to put pressure on the availability of genetic counselors to meet that demand. This is especially true in certain geographic locations due to the uneven distribution of genetic counselors throughout the US. To assess these disparities, access to genetic counselors of all specialties is explored by geography, cancer type, and social determinants of health. Geospatial technology was used to combine and analyze genetic counselor locations and cancer incidence at the county level across the US, with a particular focus on tumors associated with
