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

Objectives This study was performed to describe the health status of Chinese oldest-old individuals aged ≥80 years from 1998 to 2014 and explore differences in their health status based on demographic characteristics and socioeconomic status. Methods Data were obtained from the seven waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. The Mini Mental State Examination, Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, and chair stand test were used to examine cognitive and physical function. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the changes in health outcomes. Results Regression results showed increasing cognitive impairment trends and decreasing disability trends, indicating that the oldest-old individuals had worse body function in more recent years. Older people and women had a weaker health status. Rural elders had better physical performance but worse cognitive function. Participants with an education had better overall functioning. Individuals with severe disability had the shortest survival time among the study population. Conclusions From 1998 to 2014, the health status of oldest-old individuals was relatively stable in China. These findings indicate the need for specific and continuing attention to the oldest-old population to improve their health condition.
