Effects of functional limitations and activities of daily living on the mortality of the older people: A cohort study in China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Introduction: Prevalence of functional limitations (FLs) and disabled activities of daily living (ADL) cause heavy burdens to the health of the older people. Stratified by gender, this study aimed to explore the effects of FL and ADL on the mortality of the older people in China, and the mechanism was then discussed. Methods: We used survey data of a prospective 10-year cohort (2008-2018), from the China Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and Independent variables included FL, basic ADL (BADL), and instrumental ADL (IADL). Covariates involved socio-demographic characteristics, health-related behaviors, and health status of the participants in the CLHLS project. Results: There were 967 (19.20%) male and 2,235 (32.36%) female older people performed functional limitations, and their survival time was 60.98 (SE = 0.66) and 55.19 (SE = 0.55) months, respectively. Old adults with FL had significantly poorer survival than the ones without (Log-rank test, Conclusions: Prevalence of FL was serious among the older people in China, especially for the women. Disabilities of BADL and IADL and FL were negatively associated with the survival time of the older people in China. Regarding the effect of FL on survival, BADL and IADL performed significantly mediating roles, and the moderating role of BADL existed only for the female. These suggested evidence to implement strategies to maintain health in the older people.
