Effects of an urban cable car intervention on quality of life: an observational, quasi-experimental study in Bogotá, Colombia (TrUST).

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
Background: There is little evidence about the relationships between transport interventions and quality of life in low-income settlements in Global South cities. The aim was to assess the effects of the TransMiCable cable car intervention on quality of life in males and females in a low-income settlement in Bogotá, Colombia. Methods: The Urban Transformations and Health (TrUST) natural experiment was conducted between 2018 and 2020 in intervention and control neighbourhoods. Overall quality of life, general health, and specific domains of quality of life were assessed in adults before and after the implementation of the TransMiCable using the World Health Organization's quality of life brief questionnaire. Adjusted multilevel linear regression models were used to estimate the effects on outcomes. Findings: Before the inauguration of TransMiCable, 2052 participants (1289 [62.8%] females and 763 [37.2%] males; mean age 43.5 years [SD 17.7]) completed the questionnaire. Analyses included 825 participants in the intervention group (80% of the baseline sample) and 854 participants in the control group (84% of the baseline sample) who completed the follow-up. Among females in the intervention area, there was an increase in quality of life (adjusted β for the time-by-group interaction, intervention Interpretation: Transport interventions, such as TransMiCable, could have meaningful impacts on the quality of life of women in low-income areas, promoting the achievement of sustainable development goals and improving well-being. A community-based, multisectoral approach is essential to designing integrated mobility policies that reflect the diverse needs of urban communities in the Global South.
