Travel distance\/time accounted for 74% of analyses, and results were mixed between worse cancer outcomes for farther travelers (47%) and null or reversed results, but these findings were moderated by rurality and sociodemographic status. Owning a vehicle and being able to travel independently were associated with better clinical outcomes. Per quality assessment, papers were susceptible to referral and information bias; additionally, spatial auto-correlation and the hierarchical nature of data were frequently ignored leading to inflated
