Protective effects of neighborhood community factors on elder abuse in India.
Article in Journal of elder abuse & neglect. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Elder abuse impacts one in six older persons globally. Most studies of elder abuse have focused on risk factors rather than protective factors, individual-level factors rather than structural factors, and developed countries rather than developing countries where resources are scarce. The current study addressed these gaps by examining whether neighborhood social cohesion and physical order could be such structural-level protective factors for older persons in India. Our cohort consisted of 541 participants aged 60 and over in the pilot wave of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India. We found that older persons with high neighborhood social cohesion were 38% less likely to experience abuse compared to older persons with low cohesion (OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.39-0.99). Similarly, participants with high neighborhood physical order were 48% less likely to experience abuse compared to older persons with low physical order (OR = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.32-0.83). Both models adjusted for relevant covariates. Policies supporting greater cohesion and order in communities could reap significant health benefits for older persons.
