1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAlthough there are empirical studies examining COVID-19 infection from a spatial perspective, majority of them focused on the USA and China, and there has been a lacuna of systematic research to unpack the spatial landscape of infection in the UK and its related factors.

methodsEngland's spatial-temporal patterns of COVID-19 infection levels in 2020 were examined via spatial clustering analysis. Spatially filtered multilevel models (SFMLM), capturing both hierarchical and horizontal spatial interactive effects, were applied to identify how different demographic, socio-economic, built environment and spatial contextual variables were associated with varied infection levels over the two waves in 2020.

resultsThe fragmented spatial distribution of COVID incidence in the first wave has made a rural-urban shift and resulted in a clearer north-south divide in England throughout 2020. The SFMLM results do not only identify the association between variables at different spatial scales with COVID-19 infection level but also highlight the increasing importance of spatial-dependent effect of the pandemic over time and that the locational spatial contexts also help explain variations in infection rates.
