Dissemination and Implementation of Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs: Reach and Effectiveness.
Article in The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundUsing the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance framework, we describe the implementation of evidence-based fall prevention programs (EBFPPs) by Administration for Community Living grantees during 2014-2019.
methodForty-four grantees contributed to the national data repository. Data components include workshop information, participant information, attendance records, and organizational data. Data were collected before and after implementation of the EBFPPs.
resultsTen different programs were offered in 35 states with the most common settings being senior centers (25.3%), residential facilities (16.8%), health care organizations (12.5%), and faith-based organizations (11.1%). Individuals who participated in the programs (N = 85 848) had an age of 75.5 ± 9.7 years and were primarily female (79.7%), and the majority (86.2%) reported at least some fear of falling. At the postprogram assessment, 31.8% reported less fear of falling, 21.6% reported fewer falls, and 10.1% reported fewer injurious falls (all p < .0001).
conclusionsEBFPPs implemented by Administration for Community Living grantees reached over 85 000 older adults. Participation in the EBFPPs resulted in improved confidence, decreased fear of falling, and fewer falls and injurious falls. Future efforts should focus on reaching specific underserved minorities and examining the effectiveness of individual programs.
