Influence of social networks and environmental factors on older adults' regular walking.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Few studies have confirmed the influence of social networks and environmental factors on the regular walking of older adults in the community. This study aimed to identify factors influencing regular walking, focusing on social networks and the walkability of the neighborhood environment. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey conducted with 840 community-dwelling older adults. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to determine the factors influencing regular walking. Results: Older women are 1.58 times more likely to walk regularly than men. For older men, the likelihood of regular walking increased 1.56 times as their frequency of contact with friends and neighbors increased. For older women, the probability of regular walking increased by 1.39 times when street connectivity improved. Habitual walking probabilities were lowered by 1.45 times for older women when the terrain was hilly. Discussion: Health care providers should consider their social networks and environmental factors while developing strategies to promote regular walking in older adults.
