Spatiotemporal analysis of consumer scanning behavior using integrated QR code and POI data.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
In the era of digital analytics, the integration of QR code scan data and Point of Interest (POI) information offers new opportunities to understand consumer behavior with unprecedented granularity. This study analyzes over 134,000 scan records from 25 product brands in 2023, combining temporal usage data with spatial POI classifications to uncover patterns in consumer interaction. We conduct principal component analysis (PCA) and K-Means clustering based on the division of time periods. Results show substantial heterogeneity in consumption behavior across time periods and venue types (e.g., residential zones, dining areas, nightlife districts). Through visual heat maps and brand clustering, we highlight the dynamic interplay between product segmentation and user environments. These findings not only provide data-driven insights for optimizing marketing strategies and distribution planning but also offer reference value for policymakers. This study demonstrates the value of integrating behavioral data with geographic analysis to support more refined, scenario-specific decision-making in both commercial and public sectors.
