Effect of age-friendly community degree on the cognitive function of older adults.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Introduction: The relationship between individual environmental indicators and the physical and mental health of older adults has been widely studied. However, the holistic impact of age-friendly communities on the wellbeing of older adults has not beenclearly elucidated. This study aimed to explore the correlation between the degree of community friendliness and cognitive function of older adults and provide scientific evidence for healthy aging. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 450 residents aged ≥60 years with cognitive impairment in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, from June to September 2024. Participants provided personal demographic data, and their community's age-friendly status and cognitive function were assessed using the Age-Friendly Community (AFC) Evaluation Scale and the Alzheimer's Disease 8 Questionnaire. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between demographic characteristics and cognitive function of the older adults. Results: Among the five dimensions of the AFC evaluation scale, community participation scored the highest at 3.56 ±' 1.21 points. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that personal demographic factors (age, sex, education level, economic status, housing conditions, alcohol consumption, and chronic diseases) significantly infiuenced cognitive function (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, residential environment, transportation, and community environment were identified as significant predictors of cognitive impairment (all P < 0.05). Discussion: Low scores in residential environment, transportation, community environment, and social inclusion in AFC are independent risk factors for cognitive dysfunction. Measures to enhance community age-friendly environments could help improve the cognitive function of older adults.
