Community environmental assessment for migrant seniors' mental health: a multi-attribute decision-making model.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. 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
Introduction: Elderly migrants face significant mental health risks and social isolation within the context of global aging and mobility. As their daily activities are highly community-centric, the residential environment is a critical determinant of their well-being; however, a systematic assessment framework tailored to this population is lacking. This study aims to address this gap by identifying key community environmental factors influencing their mental health and employing the DANP-V model to construct a systemic methodology that elucidates complex inter-factor causalities and establishes prioritized improvement strategies. Methods: We established a framework of community environmental factors based on the daily behaviors of elderly migrants. The Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was used to screen and finalize 16 key indicators across six dimensions. The DANP-V model, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique integrating DEMATEL, ANP, and VIKOR methods, was then applied to analyze the interrelationships and weights of these factors. The model was empirically tested through a case study in Qianshan Community, Zhuhai, China, using survey data from both domain experts ( Results: The DANP-V analysis revealed a total performance gap of 0.495 for the case community, indicating substantial room for improvement. "Environmental Exposure" (D6, gap = 0.629) and "Self-Actualization" (D4, gap = 0.617) were the most deficient dimensions. Key criteria with the largest gaps included "Pet-Friendly Facilities" (C54, gap = 0.779), "Ambient Temperature" (C63, gap = 0.726), and "Ancestral Worship Sites" (C51, gap = 0.713). The Influential Network Relation Map (INRM) illustrated that factors like "Transportation & Mobility" (C53) and "Living Convenience Facilities" (C52) were influential predecessors, affecting other criteria. Discussion: The DANP-V model provides a systemic approach to assess and improve community environments for elderly migrants' mental health, moving beyond isolated factors to address root causes within an interconnected system. The case study demonstrates that critical gaps often lie in culturally-specific (e.g., ancestral worship) and emotion-supporting (e.g., pet-friendly) elements, which are frequently overlooked. The study offers a robust framework for policymakers and designers to develop targeted, effective community improvement strategies.
