Falls and Recurrent Falls among Adults in A Multi-ethnic Asian Population: The Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases Study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
We evaluated the rate and risk factors associated with falls and recurrent falls in a multi-ethnic Asian population. 10,009 participants aged ≥40 years (mean[SD] age = 58.9[10.4] years) underwent clinical examinations and completed interviewer-administered questionnaires. Participants who self-reported at least one fall or ≥2 falls in past 12 months were defined as fallers and recurrent fallers, respectively. Age-standardized rates for falls and recurrent falls were 13.8% (95%CI, 13.1-14.6%) and 4.6% (95%CI, 4.2-5.1%), respectively. Multivariable analyses showed older age (OR = 1.20; 95%CI, 1.11-1.30), female gender (OR = 1.79; 95%CI, 1.54-2.07), diabetes (OR = 1.22; 95%CI, 1.07-1.40), cardiovascular disease (CVD, OR = 1.37; 95%CI, 1.14-1.65), ≥3 systemic comorbidities (OR = 1.35; 95%CI, 1.09-1.67), lower European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) score (OR = 1.36; 95%CI, 1.29-1.44), alcohol consumption (OR = 1.41, 95%CI, 1.11-1.78) and presenting visual impairment (VI, OR = 1.23; 95%CI, 1.02-1.47) were associated with falls. For recurrent falls, female gender (OR = 2.27; 95%CI, 1.75-2.94), diabetes (OR = 1.28; 95%CI, 1.03-1.61), CVD (OR = 2.00; 95%CI, 1.53-2.62), ≥3 systemic comorbidities (OR = 1.69; 95%CI, 1.19-2.39), lower EQ-5D score (OR = 1.47; 95%CI, 1.35-1.59), living in 1-2 room public flat (OR = 1.57; 95%CI, 1.05-2.33), monthly income <2000 Singapore Dollar (OR = 1.62; 95%CI, 1.13-2.31), alcohol consumption (OR = 1.81, 95%CI, 1.23-2.66) and presenting VI (OR = 1.34; 95%CI, 1.01-1.79) were significant risk factors. These findings will be useful for the formulation of fall prevention programs.
