Walking Ability and Its Relationship to Self-Rated Health in Later Life.
Article in Clinical gerontologist, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 investigated the relationship between self-assessed overall health (SRH) and walking ability among older adults (n = 239) gauged using three well-established measures of walking ability ("normal" and "fast" walking speeds, and perceived walking difficulty). Logistic regression models adjusted for health, behavioral, and sociodemographic variables were used to estimate the relationship between the three measures of walking ability and SRH. Walking ability was significantly associated with SRH; notably, only normal walking speed discriminated between participants in all three SRH comparisons (good versus poor/bad, good versus fair, or excellent versus good). Health care providers, family, and friends should be attentive to reduced walking speed or complaints about difficulty walking because these are harbingers of health decline.
