Falls in Senior Adults: Demographics, Cost, Risk Stratification, and Evaluation.
Review in Missouri medicine. 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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 10 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Falls occur at staggering rates across the country, with 25% of Americans over 65 reporting annual falls. The fall rate in Missourian older adults is 27.3%. Eighty-six percent of fall-related deaths happen over the age of 65. There are many intrinsic and extrinsic factors that contribute to falls, with some factors that can be targeted and optimized by physicians. There are nuances to the history and physical that can help physicians identify these risk factors.
