Effects of Both Japanese-Style Dietary Patterns and Nutrition on Falling Incidents among Community-Dwelling Elderly Individuals: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Approximately 20% of the community-dwelling Japanese elderly (≥65 years) experience falling annually, with injury frequency rising with age. Increased nursing home admission/hospitalization risk influences healthy aging and QOL. Nutrition for musculoskeletal health is necessary, though the relationship of falling with nutritional status in the elderly is largely unknown. We investigated falling incidents and nutritional status, including a Japanese-style diet in a community-dwelling cohort. Using a cross-sectional design, 186 subjects (median age 83.0 years, males/females 67/119) were analyzed. Oral and systemic health conditions were assessed. A brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ) was given for nutritional status. Analysis of covariance (adjusted for gender, age, BMI, articular disease/osteoporosis history, present tooth number, educational level) and the Japanese-Mediterranean diet (jMD) score adapted for Japan were used. The jMD score and falling incidents were significantly associated, with point increases related to a significantly decreased falling risk of 28% (OR: 0.72; 95%CI: 0.57−0.91). Of the 13 jMD food components, fish, eggs, and potatoes had a significant relationship with reduced falling, while significant associations of intake of animal protein, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and cholesterol (p < 0.05) were also observed. The results suggest that the jMD dietary pattern is an important factor for the prevention of falling incidents in elderly individuals.
