Consistency of participation over time among persons aging with physical disability as measured by a tool designed for use among community-based organizations.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCommunity participation measures for persons aging with disability were developed and evaluated to support community-based organizations (CBOs) with efficient assessment of change in participation and need for supports/services to facilitate participation.
objectiveTo evaluate a set of nine activity domain measures to broadly assess community participation and change in participation over time.
methodsA community-based sample (N = 323) of persons ages 45-65 responded to a survey with repeated measures three times annually (T1, T2, T3) between 2019 and 2022. Nine activity domain measures were developed based on extant research and evaluated with assistance from community-based support service providers. Statistical analyses employed T-tests and chi-square tests to assess change in participation over time, perceptions of participation satisfaction, and assistance needed to facilitate participation. Participants were asked if they thought changes were attributable to aging, the COVID-19 pandemic, or other factors.
resultsFindings showed varying levels of participation across the nine activity domains, with the lowest participation rate for employment and the highest participation rates for personal leisure and managing medications across T1, T2, and T3. Change in participation over the three-year period was limited; most change was reported as activity reduction. In general, respondents indicated that reduction was due to their aging or the COVID-19 pandemic. Personal assistance, transportation, environmental modifications, and improved health were identified as factors needed to help increase participation levels.
conclusionThe activity domain measures demonstrated efficiency in identifying participation rates and change. CBOs may deem them useful for assessing support and service needs to facilitate participation.
