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

purposeSuccessful aging is an effective approach to coping with population aging; however, the definition and associated factors vary due to culture and demographic distribution differences. This study was designed to assess successful aging of the older adults in China and explore the associated factors.

methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was performed in Liaoning, China. After double-cognitive function screening, 3558 older adults (1656 males and 1902 females) ≥65 years of age served as our subjects. Successful aging was assessed based on the following: physical disability; cognitive function; activities of daily living; and self-rated psychological/mood status.

resultsThe rate of successful aging was 31.7% in males and 29.4% in females. After adjustment for age, multivariate logistic regression showed that successful aging was significantly associated with, in odds ratio sequence, visual ability, self-rated chronic disease, marital status, and filial piety in males, and with visual ability, self-rated chronic disease, watching television, and ethnicity in females.

conclusionThe level of successful aging in China is lower than in other countries. Demographic characteristics, health status, individual behavior, and social-psychological factors are all associated with successful aging. Overall, visual ability had the most crucial role in successful aging for the older adults, whether males or females.
