The impact of osteoporosis, falls, fear of falling, and efficacy expectations on exercise among community-dwelling older adults.
Article in Orthopedic nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to test a model delineating the factors known to influence fear of falling and exercise behavior among older adults. DESIGN AND
methodsThis was a secondary data analysis using baseline data from the Bone Health study. A total of 866 individuals from two online communities participated in the study: 161 (18.6%) were from SeniorNet and 683 (78.9%) were from MyHealtheVet. More than half (63%) of the participants were male with a mean age of 62.8 (SD = 8.5) years. The majority was White (89%) and married (53%) and had some college education (87%).
resultsKnowledge about osteoporosis and awareness one has a diagnosis of osteoporosis directly influenced fear of falling, and knowledge of osteoporosis directly and indirectly influenced exercise behavior. A diagnosis of osteoporosis indirectly influenced exercise behavior. Taken together, the hypothesized model explained 13% of the variance in exercise behavior. IMPLICATIONS: Improving knowledge of osteoporosis and awareness of having a diagnosis of osteoporosis, decreasing fear of falling, and strengthening self-efficacy and outcome expectations for exercise may help improve exercise behavior among older adults.
