[Update of the recommendations of the Federal Falls Prevention Initiative-Identification and prevention of the risk of falling in older people living at home].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTo reduce falls and their consequences, evidence-based and consensus-based recommendations are needed for risk stratification, screening, assessment, and fall prevention as well as treatment. In 2020, the Federal Falls Prevention Initiative (BIS) published recommendations for physical training for falls prevention as a group or individual intervention for older people living at home. In 2022, the world guidelines for falls prevention and management for older adults (WFG) were published.
objectiveTo update the recommendations of the BIS. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe recommendations of the BIS were compared with those of the WFG and, if necessary, extended by methodological and subject-specific aspects. The following areas were considered: 1) screening and risk stratification, 2) interventions, 3) multifactorial assessment and interventions, and 4) specific target groups.
resultsThe BIS recommendations are largely consistent with those of the WFG. The main reason for differences is the previous focus of the BIS recommendations on physical training. The multifactorial approach, which is described in detail by the WFG, has so far been mentioned in the recommendation paper on physical training in individual settings but not elaborated in detail. The BIS recommendations are supplemented or clarified in this respect.
conclusionBy updating the BIS recommendations, the establishment and promotion of fall prevention services for older people in Germany can be further advanced. The implementation can thus be carried out as consistently and scientifically proven as possible.
