'See something, say something': a qualitative study of neighborhood perceptions and brain health.
Article in Aging & mental health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesStudies have shown the importance of neighborhood factors, such as residential segregation and green space, in associations with older adult brain health. In this qualitative study, we examine older adults' perceptions of their neighborhood, with a particular focus on residential diversity and segregation.
methodWe recruited participants from the longitudinal cohort at the UC Davis Alzheimer's Disease Research Center to participate in semi-structured interviews. Participants were interviewed and asked to describe features and perceptions of their neighborhood. Individual interviews lasted twenty-three minutes on average and were audio-taped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed for recurring themes.
resultsA total of twenty-six participants were interviewed: 61.5% female, 50.0% non-Hispanic White and 50.0% Black/African American, mean age= 81.12, SD = 6.93 years.The most prominent themes were (1) Importance of public stores and similar third spaces; (2) Accessibility to green space, including parks and trees; (3) Staying active in the community, both physically and socially; (4) Neighborhood awareness and cohesion; and (5) Stereotypes, discrimination, and segregation.
conclusionThese findings highlight the social and built environment factors that are important to older adults and that may potentially affect brain health. Future research should examine how salient themes might differ depending on older adults' cognition.
