Associations of dual sensory impairment with incident mobility and ADL difficulty.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundThere is a dearth of studies examining the associations of objectively measured dual sensory impairment (DSI) with incident mobility and activities of daily life (ADL) difficulty longitudinally.
methodsCox proportional hazards models were used to examine the associations of DSI and single sensory impairment (hearing, vision) with incident mobility difficulty (many problems or inability to walk ¼ mile and/or climb 10 steps) and ADL difficulty up to six years of follow-up among 2020 participants of the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study, a cohort of older adults aged 70-79 years from Pittsburgh, PA and Memphis, TN. Vision impairment (VI) was defined as impaired visual acuity (20/50 or worse on Bailey-Lovie distance test) and contrast sensitivity (<1.3 log units on Pelli-Robson test), and hearing impairment (HI) was defined as pure-tone average in better-hearing ear >25 decibels. Models were adjusted by age, race, sex, education, diabetes, depressive symptoms, hypertension, gait speed from 20-meter walk, global cognition score, prevalent cardiovascular disease, and body mass index.
resultsThere were 23% with DSI (n = 459). DSI was associated with increased risk of both incident report of mobility (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.25, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47, 3.43), and ADL difficulty (HR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.50, 3.40). Neither VI nor HI alone was associated with risk of either outcome.
conclusionsDSI is associated with increased risk of incident mobility and ADL difficulty. Rehabilitation and adaptive environmental changes for individuals living with DSI may be important to maximize mobility and daily function.
