Factors influencing fall prevention programmes across three regions of the UK: the challenge of implementing and spreading the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme in a complex landscape.
Article in Age and ageing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThe occurrence of falls in adults 65+ years remains a common and costly issue worldwide. There is current evidence to suggest that falls can be prevented using evidence-based strength and balance interventions, such as the six-month Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme. Perspectives of multiple key partners and providers of the FaME programme could inform future implementation and fall prevention strategies.
methodsPartners and providers involved in local community fall prevention pathways were purposefully recruited from three geographical areas across the UK. Semistructured interviews were conducted to gain a broad understanding of factors affecting the adoption, implementation and spread of FaME. Data were analysed using an inductive thematic approach and mapped to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
resultsData from 25 participant interviews and document analysis revealed 11 themes organised within five CFIR domains-the innovation (3), outer setting (3), inner setting (1), characteristics of individuals (1) and process (2).
conclusionThe adoption, implementation and spread of FaME into community settings is complex and faces multiple health system challenges. For adoption and implementation to be facilitated, FaME programmes must demonstrate effectiveness and fit the local needs of those receiving the intervention. For spread to occur, influential decision-makers and funders must support wider programme rollout whilst also securing sufficient expert capacity to deliver the programme and ensure monitoring is in place to determine effectiveness of provision for older adults.
