Relationships Between the Community Environment, Physical Activity, and Fall Risk in Low-Income Older Adults.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 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
Falls and physical inactivity are major public health concerns affecting older adults' well-being. Regular physical activity (PA) can reduce fall risk, yet extreme heat and poor walkability may limit activity. Using data from 250 low-income older adults (LOAs) in Orlando, Florida, we examined how PA and community environmental factors (CEFs) influence fall risk and how CEFs affect PA. Fall risk was measured with the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) fall risk checklist. PA was monitored continuously with FitBit devices for 6 months. CEFs included urban heat island (UHI), walk score, and social vulnerability index. Results indicate physically active LOAs had lower fall risk than inactive counterparts. Higher walkability was linked to lower fall risk, while UHI was not significantly related. LOAs in socially vulnerable communities had lower PA levels. Findings suggest promoting PA and improving senior community environment may help reduce fall risk and enhance LOAs' health.
