The serum 25(OH)D level and hand grip strength for fall risk assessment among osteoporotic elderly Japanese women.

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 investigated the relationship between serum 25(OH)D levels, grip strength, and fall score in elderly osteoporotic women for fall risk assessment. Both low serum 25(OH)D and low grip strength were independently associated with increased fall risk. The serum 25(OH)D cutoff specific to increased fall risk was 14 mg/dL (35 nmol/L). PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a cutoff value of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) for fall assessment and investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH)D, grip strength, and fall score adjusted for age in osteoporotic elderly Japanese women.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study utilizing collected data of osteoporotic elderly (age ≥65 years) female patients. A questionnaire for fall risk assessment was used, in which a score ≥ 6 was determined as increased fall risk. Serum 25(OH)D levels and grip strength were measured, and the cutoff points were calculated by receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis. Logistic regression analysis with age adjustment was conducted for potential risk factors for fall.
resultsAfter applying eligibility criteria, finally, 349 patients were enrolled. The median patient age was 77.0 years, and the mean serum 25(OH)D level was 15.6 ng/mL (36 nmol/L). Based on the ROC analysis, we defined the cutoff values of serum 25(OH)D level and grip strength as 14 ng/mL (35 nmol/L) and 15 kg, respectively. A multivariate analysis adjusted for age was conducted. Low serum 25(OH)D level and grip strength were independent risk factors for ≥6 fall risk scores.
conclusionBoth low serum 25(OH)D level and low grip strength were independently associated with increased fall risk score in osteoporotic elderly women. The appropriate serum 25(OH)D cutoff specific to the increased fall risk group in this population was 14 mg/dL (35 nmol/L). These findings might be used for the identification of patients with high fall risks. These results should be confirmed in other patient groups.
