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

Ageing in place, which refers to the idea of supporting older adults to remain living in their homes and communities for as long as they wish, has emerged as a dominant approach in public policy. However, the wider urban context influencing how people age in place, together with the pressures on the places in which people age, has been the subject of much less discussion. In response, this article reviews different ways of supporting ageing in place, exploring this theme in the context of issues associated with widening urban inequalities, austerity policies, and the privatisation of services and spaces within cities. Building on this analysis, the paper assesses the potential of initiatives which can empower and support groups within the older population, highlighting developments such as the village model, naturally occurring retirement communities, cohousing, and compassionate communities. Reflecting on the strengths and limitations of these initiatives, the paper examines the possibilities for developing new approaches to ageing in place as a collaborative venture, drawing on the collective resources of older people themselves, transforming as a result the urban environments in which they are themselves key actors.
