How regularly do people visit service places?
Article in Computers, environment and urban systems, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
It is often believed that regularities are embedded in mobile behaviors. Highly regular mobile behaviors, such as daily commutes between home and workplace, have been actively investigated in the context of health risks. Less regular mobile behaviors, such as visits to service places (e.g., supermarkets and healthcare facilities), have not received much attention. This study explores the regularity in service place visits using a deep learning method and the effect of place type on the stability of recurring visits using an entropy assessment. Results reveal both periodic and bursty visit behaviors to service places. The periodic visits are prominent on the weekly and bi-weekly scales, and the bursty visits dominate the multi-day scales. Service place type indeed affects the stability of recurring visits, and certain place types have the strongest effect. The research findings substantially expand the knowledge of mobile behaviors and are valuable in informing both visitor-based and place-based health risks.
