Housing characteristics of older adults with cognitive impairment.

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
introductionOlder adults with cognitive impairment (CI) face challenges to aging in the community. Little is known about the housing characteristics of US older adults with CI.
methodsUsing the 2022 National Health and Aging Trends Study, we describe housing characteristics of community-living older adults ≥ 65 years with CI (n = 968) using descriptive statistics (frequencies) and conduct chi-squared tests to compare characteristics of those who lived with others (n = 707) versus alone (n = 261).
resultsRenting (41%), home modifications (59% had ≥ 2), and interior home disorder (45%) were prevalent among older adults with CI. Those living alone more commonly rented, lived in an apartment or mobile home (vs. house), and had more home modifications than those living with others (all p < 0.05). DISCUSSION: Further study should examine how housing characteristics support or deter daily function and inform the long-term services and supports needed by this high-needs, understudied population. HIGHLIGHTS: There are 5.5 million older adults living in the community with cognitive impairment (CI). Of this population, 26% live alone. Older adults living alone with CI are primarily female, older, with lower incomes. Nearly half of older adults living alone with CI are renters. Home accessibility modifications were very common in this population.
