Factors Associated with Website Operation among Small Hospitals and Medical and Dental Clinics in Korea.
Article in Healthcare informatics research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe objective of this study was to investigate the factors associated with website operation among medical facilities.
methodsA cross-sectional study design was employed to investigate 1,519 hospitals, 33,043 medical clinics (MCs), and 18,240 dental clinics (DCs) as of 2020. The main outcome variable was analyzed according to technological, organizational, and environmental factors.
resultsThe percentages of small hospitals, MCs, and DCs with websites were 26.4%, 9.0%, and 6.6%, respectively. For small hospitals, the nearby presence of a subway station (odds ratio [OR] = 2.772; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.973-3.892; p < 0.0001) was the only factor significantly associated with website operation status. Among medical and dental clinics, the percentage of specialists-MCs (OR = 1.002; 95% CI, 1.000-1.004; p = 0.0175) and DCs (OR = 1.002; 95% CI, 1.001-1.004; p = 0.0061), the nearby presence of a subway station-MCs (OR = 2.954; 95% CI, 2.613-3.339; p < 0.0001) and DCs (OR = 3.444; 95% CI, 2.945-4.028; p < 0.0001), and the number of clinics in the local area-MCs (OR = 1.029; 95% CI, 1.026-1.031; p < 0.0001) and DCs (OR = 1.080; 95% CI, 1.066-1.093; p < 0.0001)-were significantly associated with website operation.
conclusionsClinics are critically affected by internal and external factors regarding website operation relative to small hospitals. Healthcare policymakers involved with information technologies may need to pay attention to those factors associated with website dispersion among small clinics.
