1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Community-dwelling older people (CDOP) face important risks of falling, a leading cause of chronic pain and transitions into long-term disability. While exercise-based interventions are widely studied for fall prevention, psychoeducation may play an important preventive role. Nevertheless, psychoeducation for fall prevention remains underexplored. This study aimed to describe existing psychoeducation for fall prevention among CDOP, identify its key components, and derive recommendations to inform future interventions. Using a scoping review design, we selected 20 studies with focus on psychoeducation for fall prevention. Findings revealed that all selected studies incorporated at least one of the four psychoeducation elements described by Anderson et al. Key aspects including mode of delivery, intervention facilitator, and educational resources are described, but literature lacks convergence. Moreover, theory-based psychoeducation programs and integration of technology and interactive delivery methods are underexplored. Implications for the design of a psychoeducation program for fall prevention in CDOP are discussed.
