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

backgroundLittle is known about how home entrances are related to community participation for people with mobility impairments.

objectiveThis investigation explored how the need to navigate steps at the entrance of a home affects the community participation levels of people with mobility impairments.

methodsThis survey study used pre-measure data collected from three different samples. Participants were adults living independently in the community aged 18-94 years old who self-reported having a mobility impairment. Measures included the Brief Community Engagement Questionnaire to examine potential differential effects on the number of non-discretionary trips people make into the community (e.g., getting groceries, medications) versus the number of discretionary activities (e.g., socializing outside the home) people reported over seven days.

resultsPeople with mobility impairments were less likely to report a stepped entrance than people without MI, but when the entrance they use the most had steps they reported significantly higher exertion to use the entrance. The presence of steps had no effect on non-discretionary trips (p = .74), but was associated with 49% (p < .01) fewer discretionary activities reported by people with mobility impairment relative to those without MI.

conclusionSteps at the home entrance of people with mobility impairment may be an important mediating factor in their level of participation. When researchers and practitioners evaluate interventions that aim to increase community participation of people with mobility impairment, they should control for the presence of steps at their home entrance.
