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

Post-industrial cities are characterized by an aging population, deteriorating urban infrastructure, and a range of socio-environmental challenges, including pollution, economic decline, and out-migration. These conditions, alongside the legacies of industrial decline, make aging in such environments considered particularly challenging when studied through the lens of conventional analytical frameworks such as active aging and age-friendly cities and communities (AFCC). By examining the literatures critically and analyzing unique spatial and social features of the environment of post-industrial cities, the paper expands the discussion regarding the impacts of environments on the healthy aging process within a post-industrial context. Based on 42 selected articles as evidences in exploring association of healthy aging and post-industrial built environment, this review implies that despite the negative perceptions, post-industrial city and community's strong social networks within their long-established communities identities hold untapped potential to play positive roles in the pathways to healthy aging. This fresh perspective challenge prevailing assumptions on aging in post-industrial cities, offering a more nuanced understanding of the strengths and opportunities inherent in post-industrial contexts for supporting the healthy aging of elderly residents.
