Valid Indicators for Predicting Falls in Community-Dwelling Older Adults Under Ongoing Exercise Intervention to Prevent Care Requirement.

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
Physical exercise interventions to prevent falls for older adults at risk of falling are widespread in many countries; however, there is insufficient knowledge of the impact of long-term exercise on the fall discriminating ability of existing fall-prediction indicators. This study measured physical and cognitive indicators of the fall risk, including the timed up and go (TUG), walking speed (WS), and plantar tactile threshold (PTT), in 124 community-dwelling older adults with care needs who were continuing an exercise program. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine factors associated with falls in the 87 participants who could adhere to the exercise continuously for 12 months. The PTT was significantly higher in fallers, while the TUG and WS did not differ significantly between fallers and non-fallers. The only index significantly associated with falls was the PTT (
