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

Background and Objectives: Limited longitudinal study exists on the combined effects of environmental factors and life-course socioeconomic status (SES) on multimorbidity in China. This study aims to explore the cumulative impact of age-friendly neighborhoods on multimorbidity over time, focusing on SES moderation. Research Design and Methods: Analyzing data from 10, 125 participants in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (2011-2020), this study assessed multimorbidity through self-reported chronic diseases and evaluated neighborhood environments using 8 domains from the Age-Friendly Cities and Communities framework. Childhood and adulthood SES were measured using latent class analysis. Latent growth curve models examined the effects of neighborhood environment, life-course SES, and their interactions on multimorbidity. Results: The study found a statistically significant increase in multimorbidity over time, with an intercept of 0.514 and a slope of 0.085. Notably, government support showed an independent association with the baseline number of chronic diseases ( Discussion and Implications: Age-friendly neighborhoods with strong government support, neighborly support, and developed infrastructure slow multimorbidity progression. However, these benefits are influenced by life-course SES. Policymakers should consider disadvantaged populations' access to environmental resources and address potential neighborhood socioeconomic health inequalities.
