Home-based strength and balance exercises for fall prevention among older individuals of advanced age: a randomized controlled single-blind study.
Trial report in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
objectiveThis research was to explore the effectiveness, safety, and adherence of home-based strength and balance exercises for fall prevention among the self-reliant individuals of advanced age and analyzed the beneficial components.
methodThis randomized controlled single-blind study included 124 individuals aged 80 years and over(mean age 84.4±3.2 years). The test group (
resultsThe test group had a decreased risk of falls compared to the control group (25.4%vs.44.3%, respectively; RR = 0.747; 95% CI: 0.551-0.975;
conclusionHome-based strength and balance exercises improved balance and reduced the risk of falls among the individuals of advanced age. The video-guided, remotely monitored regimen demonstrated effectiveness, safety, and compliance, although scope for improvement remains.
