Factors associated with falls in hemodialysis patients: a case-control study.
Article in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveto identify possible associations between a higher probability of falls among hemodialysis patients and laboratory values, comorbidities, pharmacological treatment, hemodynamic changes, dialysis results and stabilometric alterations.
methodthis was a retrospective case-control study with hemodialysis patients. Patients in a hemodialysis unit who had suffered one or more falls were included in the case group. Patients from the same unit who had not suffered falls were the controls. Data were gathered from the patients' clinical history and also from the results of a balance test conducted six months before the study.
resultsthirty-one patients were included (10 cases and 21 controls). Intradialytic body weight change was significantly greater among cases (p <0.05). Patients in the case group also presented greater lateral instability after dialysis (p <0.05). Other factors such as high blood pressure, antihypertensives, beta-blockers, and lower heart rates were also associated with falls.
conclusiona greater intradialytic weight change was associated with an increase in risk of falls. Nursing staff can control these factors to prevent the incidence of falls in dialysis patients.
