Getting there: How commuting time and distance impact students' health.
Article in PloS one, 2024. 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
This study investigates the impact on Thai students' health of commuting to school, both in terms of time and distance. The individual-level dataset used in this study is obtained from the National Statistical Office (NSO) and limited to students aged from 9 to 18 years old, with 25,461 respondents. While the data were collected in 2016, with mostly unchanged commuting behaviors of Thai students, our results can reflect current health impacts from school commutes. The data indicate that traffic in Bangkok causes students to commute longer to schools than in other provinces. The results from the ordered logistic regression consistently show that commuting time has stronger negative impacts on health than commuting distance does. In other provinces, our results show that long commuting time and distance negatively affect physical and mental health of students. The present study also indicates that investigating either commuting distance or commuting time could bias the results in some sequences.
