An assessment of intrinsic capacity among older Indian adults from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India.
Article in Nature aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Intrinsic capacity (IC), which comprises all physical and mental capacities of individuals, is a key component in the World Health Organization's healthy aging framework. A validated IC measure is lacking in India, the most populous country in the world. The aim of this study is to develop an IC measure in older Indian adults using 60,591 participants aged ≥45 years from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India. Confirmatory factor analysis incorporated 14 items of cognitive, locomotor, psychological, sensory and vitality capacities in a bifactor structure and estimated IC scores (range 0-100). The mean score was 69.7 (95% confidence interval of 69.6 to 69.8) and varied across the 36 states and union territories (range 63.4-77.8). A higher IC score had protective associations with poor self-rated health and functioning limitations after adjusting for demographic factors, socioeconomic status and chronic conditions. The score provides a comprehensive indicator that can be implemented in future aging research and practices in India.
