Exploring Indoor Home Environment Factors Influencing Fear of Falling: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In-home falls and fear of falling (FOF) are significant concerns among older adults and people with disabilities (PwD), impacting independence in daily lives. The indoor home environment (IHE) plays an important role in influencing FOF, as it is influenced by barriers and facilitators within the home. This systematic review provides an evidence-based list of IHE factors and investigates their association with FOF, especially in older adults, PwD, and wheelchair users. Examining 24 studies, we found associations between IHE factors and FOF, suggesting the importance of home modifications to live in a supportive environment to reduce FOF. Most studies were experimental and intervened for either single or multiple IHE factors, indicating reasonably strong evidence. Our findings highlight the importance of considering psychological factors when evaluating home environments to reduce FOF. The list of barriers and facilitators we provide can help healthcare professionals conduct evidence-based home assessments.
