Park proximity, housing characteristics, and self-reported health among older adults in China.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. 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
This study investigates the association between park proximity and self-reported health among older adults in China, with particular attention to the moderating effects of housing characteristics. Drawing on large-scale individual survey data and 2015 park point-of-interest (POI) data, the analysis shows that closer proximity to formally designated public parks is significantly associated with better self-reported health among older adults. The study further explores whether housing features moderate this association. High-rise housing appears to weaken the positive association between park proximity and health, while newly constructed housing strengthens it, suggesting that built environment conditions shape how older adults benefit from nearby parks. Heterogeneity analyses reveal that the health association is stronger among younger older adults (those under age 70), among men, and among urban residents, highlighting the role of mobility, behavior patterns, and infrastructural context. These findings underscore the importance of considering spatial and residential contexts in understanding health disparities in aging populations and offer implications for promoting inclusive and age-friendly urban design.
