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

Introduction: How Americans get to everyday destinations has implications for health and well-being. Transportation insecurity, or the lack of safe and convenient access to reliable transportation, is a public health problem that can lead to morbidity and mortality through injuries and chronic disease. Walking can be a healthy and low-cost mode of transportation. This study describes transportation walking among US adults with and without transportation insecurity. Methods: We used 2022 National Health Interview Survey data on 25,889 US adults to estimate the prevalence of transportation walking among adults with and without transportation insecurity across sociodemographic and geographic subgroups. We tested subgroup differences using pairwise comparisons. Results: In this sample, 5.6% (95% CI, 5.1%-6.2%) of US adults reported transportation insecurity. Walking for transportation was twice as common among adults with transportation insecurity (30.9%; 95% CI, 27.9%-34.1%) than among adults without transportation insecurity (15.3%; 95% CI, 14.5%-16.1%). Among adults with transportation insecurity, the prevalence of transportation walking was higher for adults with the lowest versus the highest levels of educational attainment, adults below versus above their poverty threshold, non-Hispanic Black versus non-Hispanic White adults, younger versus older adults, adults without versus adults with disabilities, and those residing in the West versus the South. Conclusion: About 1 in 6 US adults walk for transportation, but those with transportation insecurity are twice as likely to do so as those without. Infrastructure and policies that support walking can help improve the health and well-being of Americans and may be especially important for those experiencing transportation insecurity.
