Falls in older adults with cancer: a systematic review of prevalence, injurious falls, and impact on cancer treatment.
Synthesis in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07044427 (Investigation of Fall Risk Factors and Implementation of an Exercise Intervention for Prevention of Falls in Patients With Multiple Myeloma), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe purpose of this systematic review was to update and expand the existing systematic review with the aim to answer the following questions: (1) How often do older adults (OA)s with cancer fall? (2) What are the predictors of falls in OA with cancer? (3) What is the rate of injurious falls and predictors of injurious falls in OA with cancer? (4) What are the circumstances and outcomes of falls in this population? (5) How do falls in cancer patients affect subsequent cancer treatment?
methodsMedline, Pubmed, Embase, and CINAHL were searched. Eligible studies included clinical trials, cross-sectional, cohort, case-control, and qualitative studies in which the entire sample or a sub-group of the sample were OA aged 60 and above, had cancer, in which falls were examined as a primary or secondary outcome and published in English.
resultsTwenty-seven studies met our inclusion criteria with most involving the outpatient setting. Fall rates and injurious fall rates varied widely. Consistent predictors of falls were prior falls among outpatients and cognitive impairment among inpatients. There were no data on impact of falls on cancer treatment. Data on circumstances of falls were limited.
conclusionFalls and fall-related injuries are common in older cancer patients. However, little is known about circumstances of falls and impact of falls on cancer treatment. Many known fall predictors in community-dwelling OA have not been explored in oncology. More research is needed to address gaps in these areas.
