The association between cognitive frailty and the risk of fall occurrence in older adults: a meta-analysis of cohort studies.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Cognitive frailty increases the risk of fall occurrence. However, previous studies have shown inconsistent correlations between cognitive frailty and the risk of fall occurrence. Objective: To systematically review studies and explore the association between cognitive frailty and the risk of fall occurrence. Methods: Databases were systematically searched. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software after evaluation of the quality of the included studies by 2 researchers. Results: A total of five studies including 16,962 patients were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the cognitive frailty group increased the risk of occurrence of falls in older adults [OR = 1.38, 95% CI (1.09, 1.73), Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that cognitive frailty in older adults is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of falls, and it is recommended that caregivers strengthen the assessment of cognitive aspects of older adults admitted to the hospital.
