1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundObesity among United States nursing home (NH) residents is increasing. These residents have special care needs, which increases their risk for falls and falls with injuries. NH are responsible for ensuring the health of their residents, including minimizing falls. However, given the special care needs of residents with obesity, different factors may be important for developing programs to minimize falls among this group.

aimWe aimed to identify NH characteristics associated with falls and falls with injuries among residents with obesity.

methodWe used resident assessment data and logistic regression analysis.

resultsWe found that rates of falls and falls with injuries among residents with obesity varied significantly based on for-profit status, size, acuity index, obesity rate among residents, and registered nurse hours per patient day.

conclusionRecommendations are made as to how NH may be able to lower risk for falls and falls with injuries among their residents with obesity.
