Functional status in rural and urban adults: The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
Article in The Journal of rural health : official journal of the American Rural Health Association and the National Rural Health Care Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeTo document the prevalence of functional impairment in middle-aged and older adults from rural regions and to determine urban-rural differences.
methodsWe have conducted a secondary analysis using data from an ongoing population-based cohort study, the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). We used a cross-sectional sample from the baseline wave of the "tracking cohort." The definition of rurality was the same as the one used in the CLSA sampling frame and based on the 2006 census. This definition includes rural areas, defined as all territory lying outside of population centers, and population centers, which collectively cover all of Canada. We grouped these into "Urban," "Peri-urban," "Mixed" (areas with both rural and urban areas), and "Rural," and compared functional status across these groups. Functional status was measured using the Older Americans Resource Survey (OARS) and categorized as not impaired versus having any functional impairment. Logistic regression models were constructed for the outcome of functional status and adjusted for covariates.
findingsNo differences were found in functional status between those living in rural, mixed, peri-urban, and urban areas in unadjusted analyses and in analyses adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related factors. There were no rural-urban differences in any of the individual items on the OARS scales.
conclusionsWe found no rural-urban differences in functional status.
