Characteristics of Evidenced-Based Falls Prevention Program Completers and Non-Completers and Difference in Outcomes.
Article in Journal of aging and health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Evidenced-based community falls prevention programs can reduce falls in older adults. We sought to (1) describe the characteristics of program participants who met completion criteria by receiving the full program dose (completers) versus those who did not (non-completers), and (2) determine the differences in outcomes (falls, fear of falling and physical function) between the two groups. Data from ten programs from 2014-2019 were evaluated. Completers were older and reported more fear of falling and lower perceived health at baseline. A higher proportion of completers had reduced falls, decreased fear of falling, and were more likely to take actions to reduce fall risk. Both groups improved in physical function with no evidence of a difference between groups. While completers gained a greater benefit, both groups demonstrated a fall risk reduction. A larger loss of non-completers to follow-up may have impacted results. Targeting programs for individuals may improve completion rates.
