Reporting race and ethnicity in aging in place research: A systematic review.
Synthesis in The Gerontologist, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesDespite differences in housing experience across people from different racial and ethnic groups in the United States, race and ethnicity are not frequently emphasized in aging in place literature. This review cataloged the approach to race and ethnicity (active or passive) taken by quantitative aging in place research articles. This review also tested whether structural research elements were associated with the approach taken. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsThis study included original research articles with samples of noninstitutionalized older U.S. residents. Included articles addressed an aspect of aging in place related to the physical home, used statistical modeling, and were published between 2014 and 2023. Because an initial database search in this interdisciplinary field did not produce a comprehensive list of articles, the review sample was constructed through manual review of journal tables of contents.
resultsApproximately one third (35.16%) of the 91 sample articles took an active approach to race and ethnicity. The regression model did not detect statistically significant associations between structural research elements and active approaches; however, wide confidence intervals indicate that meaningful effects cannot be ruled out. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Even in the presence of a strong and historic association between race and ethnicity and housing, a passive approach to race and ethnicity was most common. This presents a gap in the existing body of aging in place literature. Practical suggestions for addressing this gap through future research are presented. A multidisciplinary symposium to develop more formal suggestions is recommended.
