The Association of Mobility Determinants and Life Space Among Older Adults.

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
backgroundIt is important to understand the factors associated with life-space mobility so that mobility disability can be prevented/treated. The purpose of this study was to identify the association between mobility determinants and life space among older adults.
methodsThis study was a cross-sectional analysis of 249 community-dwelling older adults (mean age = 77.4 years, 65.5% female, 88% White), who were recruited for a randomized, controlled, clinical intervention trial. Associations between cognitive, physical, psychosocial, financial, and environmental mobility determinants and the life-space assessment (LSA) at baseline were determined using Spearman's correlation coefficients and one-way analysis of variance. Multivariate analysis was performed using multivariable linear regression models.
resultsThe mean LSA score for the sample was 75.3 (SD = 17.8). Personal factors (age, gender, education, comorbidities), cognitive (Trail Making Test A and B), physical (gait speed, lower extremity power, 6-Minute Walk Test, Figure of 8 Walk Test, tandem stance, energy cost of walking, and Late-Life Function and Disability Function Scale), psychosocial (Modified Gait Efficacy Scale), and financial (neighborhood socioeconomic status) domains of mobility were significantly associated with LSA score. In the final regression model, age (β = -0.43), lower extremity power (β = 0.03), gait efficacy (β = 0.19), and energy cost of walking (β = -57.41) were associated with life space (R2 = 0.238).
conclusionsYounger age, greater lower extremity power, more confidence in walking, and lower energy cost of walking were associated with greater life space. Clinicians treating individuals with mobility disability should consider personal, physical, and psychosocial factors when assessing barriers to life-space mobility.
