Nurses' perceptions of fall risk factors and fall prevention strategies in acute care settings in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Nursing open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
aimThis study aimed to explore nurses' perceptions of the factors associated with falls and of fall prevention strategies in acute care settings in Saudi Arabia.
designThis is a cross-sectional, correlational, descriptive study.
methodsData were collected from 102 nurses using a survey on the risk factors and prevention strategies of injurious falls.
resultsWe found that impaired balance and muscle strength, limited mobility, and an inability to follow safety instructions were reported as the top factors in falls. Multidisciplinary fall prevention strategies are effective in reducing the prevalence of falls. Nurses with higher levels of education had higher perceptions towards the risk factors of falls. Formal patient safety training, including fall prevention education programmes, were shown to reduce falls by making nurses more aware of fall risk factors and prevention strategies. The findings of this study can be used to inform managers about factors that may contribute to falls in acute care settings.
