1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 prevention research and practice has focused primarily on older adults, yet healthy and productive aging does not begin at age 65. To help fill this gap in knowledge, the purpose of this study was to explore the falls experiences and prevention program preferences of adults in mid-life who had experienced falls or near falls. A qualitative study using content analysis was used. Multiple coders were employed to increase the reliability of the findings. Results revealed three major themes with regard to falls experiences including precursors to falls, physical implications, and functional implications. For prevention preferences, themes included a continuum of interest, convenience is key, money matters, people you trust prompt action, and preventing future injury. Study results reveal new insights regarding the falls experiences and prevention preferences of adults in mid-life and can serve as a starting point to inform prevention programs targeting this population.
