Factors of regional variations in national cancer screening rates during the COVID-19 pandemic.

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
Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze factors of regional variation in national cancer screening rate in Korea using regional cancer screening rate data. In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we tried to identify factors affecting cancer screening rate, including COVID-19 situation in the region. Methods: Data provided by the National Health Insurance Service Center were used for the national cancer screening rate index data in 2020 in 229 regions. A correlation analysis was conducted to find correlation between national cancer screening rate and variation factors in the national cancer screening rate in the region to be analyzed. In addition, to confirm spatial dependence of the national cancer screening rate among regions, a global spatial autocorrelation (Global Moran's I) analysis was conducted. Results: In the 2020 COVID-19 situation, variable factors affecting the national cancer screening rate among regions in Korea were the regional number of populations of cumulative COVID-19 confirmed cases, concern of damage caused by COVID-19 infection, income level, the proportion of the population graduating from middle school or lower, the average daily access time to general hospitals by car, and the average daily access time to hospitals and clinics by public transportation or walking. Conclusions: Results of this study can be used to establish national digital health policies that reflect regional variation factors in situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It is believed that they can contribute to policies to promote community health in the future.
