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

Investigating the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based health-promotion programs to reach large numbers of diverse older adults is needed. The purpose of this study is to examine relationships between class size and session attendance and assess differences in intervention outcomes based on these community-based fall prevention program characteristics. Pre-post data were analyzed from 2,056 falls prevention program participants. PROC MIXED for repeated measures and ordinary least squares regressions were employed. Approximately 32% of participants enrolled in recommended class sizes (eight to 12 participants) and 76.4% of enrolled seniors attended more than five of eight sessions. Enrolling in smaller class sizes was associated with higher class attendance (X (2) = 43.43, p < 0.001). Recommended class sizes and those with 13-20 participants reported significant improvements in falls efficacy and physical activity. Perfect attendance was associated with improvements in falls efficacy (t = 2.52, p < 0.05) and activity limitation (t = -2.66, p < 0.01). Findings can inform fall prevention program developers and lay leader deliverers about ideal class sizes relative to maximum intervention benefits and cost efficiency.
