Factors Associated With Outdoor Frequency Among U.S. Community-Dwelling Medicare Beneficiaries: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Research in gerontological nursing. 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
purposeDespite the benefits of outdoor activity in older adults, a paucity of research explores factors associated with the frequency of older adults going outdoors. The aim of the current study was to investigate if factors of cognitive status, physical performance, and neighborhood characteristics were associated with outdoor frequency among older adults.
methodThis cross-sectional study used National Health and Aging Trends Study data to characterize outdoor frequency among Medicare beneficiaries by participant demographics, health, and neighborhood characteristics, and estimated relationships between participant factors and outdoor frequency.
resultsThe sample included 3,368 participants. The majority (51.6%) were aged 75 to 84 years and female (57.2%). Most (60.4%) participants went outside daily. Probable dementia, physical limitations, and presence of street disorder and sidewalk continuity were associated with decreased outdoor frequency.
conclusionResearch is needed to develop interventions addressing neighborhood conditions and promoting outdoor activity among older adults living with dementia and physical limitations. [
