Association between residential proximity to major roadways and low muscle mass among Chinese older adults: a nationwide cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLow muscle mass (LMM) has high incidence among the older adults, residential environment including air pollution and noise have influence on it, and residential proximity to major roadways (RPMR) is closely related to these factors. Nevertheless, there is no research regarding the association between RPMR and LMM, especially among Chinese older adults.
methodsThe data was derived from the 2018 waves of China Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey (CLHLS) in this study. We evaluated the distance of RPMR and whether participants experienced LMM, and we constructed four binary logistic regression to explore their association. We explored which variables are modified effect through interaction analysis, and conducted a sensitivity analysis by using the multiple chain equation interpolation method to interpolate missing values, excluding cognitive impairment and those who have lived in their place of residence for less than a year.
resultsA total of 6,952 older adults were included in the analysis. We found that the closer the RPMR, the higher the odds of LMM, with a significant increase when RPMR was within 200 m. Compared to the reference group (RPMR > 300 m), the ORs were: <50 m: OR = 1.312 (95% CI: 1.051-1.637, P = 0.016), 50-100 m: OR = 1.461 (95% CI: 1.180-1.813, P < 0.001), 101-200 m: OR = 1.226 (95% CI: 1.019-1.475, P = 0.031). The effect was modified by life satisfaction and self-reported health. Sensitivity analyses supported the main findings.
conclusionThe distance of RPMR within 200 m was significantly associated with LMM among Chinese older adults, which makes significant inspiration for future intervention and prevention of LMM from residence perspective.
