Recovery From Mobility Limitation in Middle-Aged African Americans: The Jackson Heart Study.

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
backgroundDespite evidence that African Americans shoulder a high burden of mobility limitation, little is known about factors associated with recovery.
methodParticipants from the Jackson Heart Study underwent 3 in-person exams from 2000 to 2013. Mobility limitations were assessed over this period by self-reported limitations in walking half a mile or climbing stairs during annual phone calls. The outcome of interest, recovery from mobility limitation, was defined as no mobility limitation the year following an incident event. Candidate predictor variables were assessed in logistic regression models, including sociodemographic, psychosocial, and health measures. Inverse probability weights were used to address missing data in the outcome.
resultsAmong 4526 participants (mean [SD] age = 54.5 (12.8) years) without a mobility limitation at baseline, 1445 (32%) had an incident mobility limitation over 12 years of follow-up, and 709 (49%) reported recovery from mobility limitation by 1 year later. Low income and daily discrimination were associated with a lower likelihood of recovery even after adjustment for covariates. In adjusted models, greater comorbidity was associated with a lower likelihood of recovering (p-value for trend = .05). History of heart failure and cancer were associated with a lower likelihood of recovering from mobility limitation (OR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.29, 0.94 and OR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.55, 1.00). Adiposity, smoking status, and physical activity were not associated with recovery from mobility limitation.
conclusionHalf of incident mobility limitations in this population of middle-aged African Americans were transient. Adverse sociodemographic factors and comorbidities were associated with lower likelihood of recovery.
