Factors associated with the life-space assessment in community-dwelling older adults requiring support.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 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
[Purpose] We aimed to identify factors associated with life-space mobility in community-dwelling older adults certified as requiring support. [Participants and Methods] We conducted a cross-sectional study of older adults requiring support who attended a day-service program between August and September 2024. We evaluated life-space mobility using a questionnaire. We assessed physical function using a chair stand test, one-leg standing time with eyes open, and maximum gait speed. We assessed cognitive function using a dementia screening scale. We evaluated pain-related disability and lower-limb pain sites. We examined factors associated with life-space mobility. [Results] Sixty-three participants were analyzed. Life-space mobility was associated with maximum gait speed and overall pain-related disability; however, only maximum gait speed showed a stable association. Exploratory analyses suggested that activity-specific pain-related disability, such as difficulties with housework, visiting friends, using public transportation, and shopping, was negatively associated with life-space mobility. [Conclusion] Maximum gait speed was a stable factor associated with life-space mobility in older adults requiring support. Activity-specific pain-related disability may also relate to life-space restriction and should be interpreted cautiously.
