Falls requiring visit to emergency room in a population-based cohort of diabetic patients in Italy.
Article in Journal of injury & violence research, 2017. 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
backgroundThe aims were to assess the frequency of falls among the diabetic adult population of the Italian Northeastern region Friuli Venezia Giulia and to identify risk factors.
methodsThis was a population-based retrospective cohort study using administrative data of the regional health information system as the source of information. In a cohort of diabetics 18 years of age or more, living in the region on December 31, 2014, the occurrence of falls requiring a visit to the regional Emergency Rooms was assessed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with increased risk of falling.
resultsOf 80,162 cohort subjects, 2967 (3.7%) had at least one fall requiring a visit to ER. Factors associated with increased risk of falling were female sex, older age, prescription of a thiazolidinedione as the last antidiabetic medication in 2014, increasing number of active principles prescribed in 2014, longer diabetes duration, and prescription of certain classes of medications other than antidiabetics in 2014.
conclusionsIn Friuli Venezia Giulia, injurious falls are a complication of diabetes relevant from the public health viewpoint. Efforts are needed to screen diabetic patients, review their prescriptions, provide appropriate care, and implement targeted interventions to minimize the individual risk of falls.
