Maladaptive Fall Risk Appraisal and Falling in Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 60 and Older: Implications for Screening.
Article in Clinical gerontologist. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
objectivesWe aimed to examine the characteristics of maladaptive fall risk appraisal (FRA), discrepancies between physical and perceived-fall risk, and their associations with falls.
methodsFall risk appraisal was determined using the full-tandem stand test as an objective measure and the Fall Efficacy Scale-International as a subjective measure, and 433 adults aged ≥60 years from Thailand were classified into four groups: irrational (low physical/high perceived risk), incongruent (high physical/low perceived risk), congruent (high physical/high perceived risk) and rational (low physical/low perceived risk) FRAs.
resultsOnly 20.8% of adults aged ≥60 years had rational FRA. The rest of the participants had either irrational (57.3%) or incongruent (2.3%), or congruent (19.6%) FRAs. Approximately 74% of those with congruent FRA reported experiencing a fall last year, followed by incongruent (60%), irrational (41.1%), and rational FRAs (27.8%,
conclusionsMaladaptive FRA is highly prevalent among adults aged ≥60. Identifying maladaptive FRA is essential for ensuring that adults aged ≥60 receiving early treatment associated with falls. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Preventing a transition from rational to irrational, incongruent, and congruent fall risk appraisals is vital to prevent falls and mitigate this problematic health condition.
