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

Rapid population aging underscores the need for walkable environments tailored to older adults. As community life circles serve as primary daily settings for elders, their built environment critically influences walking activity, yet few studies compare multiple scales across different community types. Based on survey data from 1,965 older adults in Wuchang District, Wuhan, and using street-view image semantic segmentation, deep learning, and geographic information system (GIS) spatial analysis, this study employs ordinal logistic regression models to examine how built environment characteristics in 5-, 10-, and 15-min community life circles affect elderly walking in old versus new communities. The findings reveal significant scale- and community-specific effects. In old communities, building density and land use mix are positively associated with walking in the 5-min circle but negatively associated in the 10-min circle. In new communities, enclosure inhibits walking in the 5-min circle, while the proportion of traffic safety facilities facilitates walking across all circles. These results highlight the need for precise, circle-specific governance of age-friendly walking environments within community life circles.
