1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The rapid ageing of our society poses significant challenges, including an increase in chronic diseases and loneliness among older adults, leading to higher demands for care and support. Addressing these needs requires an integral approach, especially among older adults with low socioeconomic status (SES). This article details the development of the Neighbourhood Active & Connected (NAC) intervention, using the Intervention Mapping framework to expand an evidence-based physical activity intervention into a neighbourhood-oriented, holistic and systemic strategy for healthy ageing. NAC focuses on enhancing physical activity, social connectedness, and digital literacy. It was developed through co-creation with local stakeholders and low-SES older adults, ensuring optimal alignment with their needs and capabilities. Performance and change objectives were established based on literature consultation and an extensive need assessment, with intervention materials refined through engagement with the target group. The results of a large-scale cluster randomised controlled trial will be utilised to evaluate NAC's impact on physical activity, loneliness, social cohesion, health-related quality of life, and digital literacy among low-SES community-dwelling older adults. This paper aims to provide a detailed roadmap for researchers and practitioners to adapt, implement and evaluate similar interventions, promoting healthy ageing in low socio-economic contexts.
