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

purposeTo investigate the associations of neighborhood-level socioeconomic and environmental characteristics with physical activity in persons with glaucoma.

designCross-sectional study (N = 230).

methodsHome addresses were used to extract neighborhood factors (NFs): Area Deprivation Index, crime rate, and the proportion of racial and ethnic minorities, poverty, college graduates, and park area in their census tract. Participants' average number of daily steps and nonsedentary minutes were collected over 7 days using an accelerometer. Visual field (VF) loss was quantified as integrated VF sensitivity. Multivariable negative binomial regression models and additional models with an interaction term evaluated the effect of NF on physical activity and whether these relationships differed by VF loss severity.

resultsParticipants were on average 70.6 years of age, 51.7% were male, and 27.8% were black. A higher Area Deprivation Index or poverty share was associated with fewer NSM (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 0.96 per 1 Area Deprivation Index decile increment, P = .01; IRR = 0.92 per 10% poverty share increment, P = .02), while higher share of college graduates was associated with greater NSM (IRR = 1.03 per 10% increment; P = .03). Stronger associations were noted between both high crime rate and poverty share with NSM in individuals with severe VF damage as opposed to no/mild VF damage (IRR = 0.44, P = .001; IRR = 0.81, P = .02).

conclusionsSelect NFs (poverty share and crime rate) may disproportionately affect physical activity in patients with severe VF loss. Interventions to overcome activity limitations within the context of poverty and high socioeconomic disadvantage are important for addressing glaucoma-related disability, particularly in those with severe VF loss.
