Falls as Adverse Events in Psychosocial Treatment of Depression: Findings from a Clinical Trial in Nursing Homes.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Falls pose a significant health risk for nursing home residents and are associated with depression and medical treatments for depression. Data on falls as an adverse event to psychosocial treatments are lacking. We examined risk of falls as an adverse event in a clinical trial of a behavioral treatment for depression. Participants were 82 depressed nursing home residents. Adverse events were recorded at each research contact. We used the rate ratio based on the respective incidence densities in the treatment and control groups to measure association between fall rate and treatment. The treatment group had almost six times higher risk of falls than the control group, a statistically significant association. Findings suggest that it may be of value to include statistical analysis of falls as adverse events in trials of behavioral interventions for depression.
