How Neighborhood Structural and Individual Characteristics Affect Frailty Progression: Evidence from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectives(1) To characterize the average trajectories of frailty over time in Chinese community-dwelling older adults; (2) To assess the effects of neighborhood structural and individual characteristics on frailty progression.
designA nationally representative prospective cohort study.
settingCommunities in 28 provinces, China.
participants6238 respondents aged 60 and above in 447 communities from four waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. MEASUREMENTS: Frailty was measured using the 61-item Frailty Index (FI).
resultsThe trajectory of FI was nonlinear, with an average growth rate of 0.025 that significantly slows down at the rate of 0.002 per year. Older, male, and uninsured respondents showed faster rates of growth in FI over time than younger, female, and insured counterparts. Respondents living in neighborhoods with a higher percentage of the older population and rural villages showed slower rates of growth in FI over time.
conclusionExpanding health insurance coverage and keeping a high clustering of the elderly in neighborhoods may be the potential strategies for population-level frailty prevention and interventions.
