Neighborhood Characteristics and Walking Behavior Among Adults With Arthritis: A National Health Interview Survey Study.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study investigated the association of perceived neighborhood qualities with likelihood of transit walking, leisure walking, neighborhood walking, and meeting physical activity (PA) recommendations among US adults with arthritis.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used 2020 National Health Interview Survey data. Included participants were adults who reported with clinician-diagnosed arthritis and who reported the ability to walk. Exposures of interest were perceived neighborhood attributes. Outcomes were transit walking, leisure walking, neighborhood walking, and meeting PA recommendations. Standardized mean difference percentage (SMD%) was used to assess relationships between exposures and outcomes, with an SMD% >10% resulting in inclusion in final adjusted multivariate logistic regression models for odds of outcomes. All analyses were weighted to account for complex survey methodology.
resultsThe analytic sample included 7,322 adults with arthritis. Fully adjusted logistic regression models showed the presence of roads to walk on was associated with meeting PA recommendations (odds ratio [OR] 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.49]). Three attributes were positively associated with transit walking, whereas safety from crime was negatively associated (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.75-3.10; OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.17-1.91; OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.34-2.08; and OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.53-0.92, respectively). Roads to walk and places to walk and relax were associated with leisure and neighborhood walking (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.21-1.76; OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.34-1.82; OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.29-1.93; and OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.40-1.90, respectively).
conclusionThis study identified several neighborhood characteristics associated with higher a likelihood of walking behaviors among adults with arthritis. Factors associated with walking behavior varied by the type of walking. The shared correlates between leisure and neighborhood walking imply they occur in the same setting. Patients with arthritis may benefit from exercise recommendations that are informed by the presence or absence of facilitating infrastructure in their neighborhoods.
