Can urban renewal improve the self-assessed health of older adults? Evidence from China.
Article in International journal for equity in health, 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
backgroundWith the global acceleration of urbanization and population aging, the growing contradiction between the built environment and the health needs of older adults has become increasingly prominent.
methodsBased on the micro-data from the 2016, 2018, and 2020 waves of the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) and the macro-data at the city level, our study selected eight indicators that reflected urban renewal at the household, community, and city levels and empirically investigated their effects on the self-assessed health of older adults.
resultsThe study showed that urban renewal has a positive impact on the self-assessed health of older adults at the 1% significance level. The heterogeneity analysis indicated that the impact of urban renewal on the self-assessed health of older adults varied significantly across different geographical areas and age groups. However, further analysis revealed that urban renewal exacerbated the health inequality of older adults.
conclusionsOur research indicated that urban renewal improved the self-assessed health of older adults, but it also increased health inequalities within this group. These results suggested that urban renewal should be further promoted to effectively enhance the health status of older adults, reduce health inequalities, and achieve the social goal of healthy aging.
