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

backgroundExtensive evidence indicates intrinsic capacity (IC) as a strong predictor for health outcomes. Identifying conditions associated with IC impairment provides an opportunity to intervene to slow down, stop or reverse the declines. However, current evidence on factors affecting IC remains limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to identify factors associated with IC and the degree of IC impairment in older adults, thereby assisting in the development of comprehensive intervention strategies to mitigate the IC impairment.

methodsWe analyzed data of 10,654 participants sourced from the fifth wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (2020). Chi-square tests, and multinomial logistic regression analysis were employed to analyze the possible variables associated with IC impairment based on Andersen Model.

results10,617 participants were included into this study, and 86.9% of them have impairment in at least one dimension of IC. We identified 18 factors based on Andersen Model and 14 of them were associated with IC impairment. In the predisposing characteristics dimension of Andersen Model, older adults particularly those aged ≥ 80 years exhibited higher risk of IC impairment than those aged 60–69 years. Individuals living in urban areas, educated, drinking less than once a month, using the internet, and having social participation were less likely to experience IC impairment. In the enabling resources dimension of Andersen Model, individuals with access to pension, medical insurance, work, and spousal emotional support exhibited lower risk of IC impairment. In the need factors dimension of Andersen Model, individuals who self-rated their health as poor, and those with pain and multimorbidity exhibited higher risk of IC impairment. Individuals sleeping 5–7 h per night demonstrated a lower risk of IC impairment relative to more than 7 h.

conclusionMore than half of the older adults exhibited varying degrees of IC impairment in China. Governments and community health systems should implement programs promoting rural urbanization, digital literacy, social participation, and equitable allocation of medical insurance and pension resources to mitigate IC impairment in older adults.
