Time-Varying Hazard of Patient Falls in Hospital: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the association between patient falls and relevant factors and to quantify their effect on fall risk. This is a retrospective case-control study using the secondary data collected from a tertiary general hospital. Study subjects were 450 patients who were admitted to the hospital between January 2016 and December 2020. The prevalence of falls was associated with the fall risk level by the Morse Fall Scale (MFS) and individual status at admission including history of admission, dizziness, sleep disorder, bowel dysfunction, and urinary incontinence. The odds ratios of patient falls were higher in the low-risk group by the MFS score (odds ratio (OR) = 2.61,
