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

backgroundWith rapid urbanization, lots of mega-communities have been built in the cities of China. Lots of neighborhood environmental problems exist in mega-communities and may impact on residents' quality of life. To the best of our knowledge, little is known about the association between neighborhood environment and HRQoL among residents living in mega-communities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between perceived neighborhood environment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among residents living in mega-communities in Guiyang, Southwestern China.

methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out among 665 residents selected from three mega-communities in Guiyang. The perceived neighborhood environment was measured using the perceived neighborhood environment scale developed based on characteristics of Chinese communities, and HRQoL was evaluated using Short Form 12 (SF-12). Spearman's rank correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression model were used to assess the association between perceived neighborhood environment and HRQoL.

resultsAfter controlling for confounding factors, mental HRQoL was positively associated with perceived neighborhood safety (β = 0.137, P < 0.001), and air pollution (β = 0.142, P = 0.001). Physical HRQoL had positive associations with perceived sidewalk condition (β = 0.090, P = 0.026), neighborhood safety (β = 0.085, P = 0.042), and indoor light (β = 0.085, P = 0.034).

conclusionAmong residents who lived in mega-communities, satisfaction with neighborhood safety, air pollution, sidewalk condition, and indoor light were positively related with HRQoL. This study could provide evidence for the design and planning of neighborhood environment to promote HRQoL.
