Correlates of Homebound Status by Rural/Urban Location, Socio-Demographic Characteristics, and Health Status.
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
This study seeks to identify factors that are associated with whether older adults are homebound in rural and urban areas. Utilizing the 2022/23 National Health and Aging Trends Study data, we conducted bivariate analyses to compare homebound status among rural and urban residents. Additionally, we used logistic regression to identify socio-demographic correlates overall and stratified by rurality and key demographic characteristics. The results revealed that rural and urban older adults had similar rates of homebound status, but that the association between risk factors and being homebound differed by rurality. In particular, older age, poor health, and Medicaid status were all more strongly associated with being homebound among rural older adults than among their urban peers. Varying socio-demographic factors are associated with the risk of older adults becoming homebound across rural and urban settings. Policies to prevent and support homebound older adults should be tailored to geographic and individual characteristics.
