Pavements to Longevity: The Influence of Neighborhood Walkability on Mortality in Taiwan.
Article in Environmental health perspectives, 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
backgroundThere is limited information on the association between walkability and health in Asian countries.
objectiveOur study aimed to investigate the association between neighborhood walkability and mortality in Taiwanese adults.
methodsWe selected 457,874 participants (
resultsThis study identified 24,744 deaths over a median follow-up of 16.9 y. In comparison with participants living with the first tertile for numbers of POI and transit stations, those living with higher numbers of POI and transit stations were associated with a lower risk of natural-cause mortality, with hazard ratios (HRs) of 0.97 [95% confidence intervals (CIs): 0.94, 1.00] and 0.93 (95% CI: 0.90, 0.96) for second and third tertiles of numbers of POI, and 0.99 (95% CI: 0.96, 1.02) and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.92, 0.98) for second and third tertiles of numbers of transit stations, respectively. Each unit increase in POI and transit stations was associated with a 3% (
conclusionOur findings indicate that a higher level of neighborhood walkability was associated with a lower risk of mortality. Our data suggest that it is important to take into account neighborhood walkability in urban planning and health guideline development. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15209.
