Initial validation of the university of Alabama Birmingham study of aging life-space assessment in older adults with multiple sclerosis.
Article in Multiple sclerosis and related disorders, 2024. 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
backgroundOlder adults with multiple sclerosis (OAMS) have declines in walking and physical performance that may erode community mobility defined as the spatial extent of mobility in one's daily life and environment.
objectiveThis study provided the first application and validation of the University of Alabama Birmingham Study of Aging Life-Space Assessment (UAB LSA) as a measure of community mobility in OAMS.
methodsThe sample included 97 OAMS and 108 healthy controls (HCs) who completed baseline assessments as part of an ongoing, longitudinal study. The primary assessments included the UAB LSA and timed 25-foot walk (T25FW), short physical performance battery (SPPB), global health score (GHS), and geriatric depression scale (GDS) in both OAMS and HCs, and patient determined disease steps (PDDS) scale in only OAMS.
resultsOAMS had significantly lower UAB LSA scores than HCs (p < .001). UAB LSA scores had strong correlations with T25FW(r
conclusionWe provided initial evidence for UAB LSA scores as a measure of community mobility in OAMS.
