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

Background: Reliable instruments for assessing community integration among older adults are limited in China. The Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised (CIQ-R) was translated into Chinese and culturally adapted for use in this population. Its psychometric properties were evaluated, and its practical utility for classifying levels of community integration was examined. Methods: Following forward-backward translation and expert review, the Chinese Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ)-R was administered to 400 community-dwelling older adults in Zunyi (April-July 2024). Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) assessed scale structure. Internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach's Results: The adapted CIQ-R consists of four subscales (Family Integration, Social Integration, Productivity, Electronic Social Networking) and 17 items, following the removal of one poorly performing item (item 2.4). Cronbach's Conclusion: The Chinese CIQ-R demonstrates acceptable reliability and structural validity and provides a practical tool for identifying heterogeneity in community integration among older adults, with potential utility for population screening and community-based public health planning. Clinical trial registration: This study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2300071478).
