Physical Therapy Management of Fall Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: An Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline From the American Physical Therapy Association - Geriatrics.
Guideline in Journal of geriatric physical therapy (2001). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
APTA-Geriatrics, an Academy of the American Physical Therapy Association, appointed a guideline development group (GDG) to develop a clinical practice guideline (CPG) synthesizing the evidence for physical therapy management of fall risk in community-dwelling older adults. The GDG consisted of five physical therapists with clinical expertise in the management of fall risk in older adults and methodological expertise in evidence-based document development. The CPG includes a systematic review of existing literature, and stringent methodology developed by the American Physical Therapy Association to form the evidence-based recommendations. The CPG content, including methodology, recommendations and algorithm were externally reviewed by clinical providers and academicians with expertise in fall risk management for older adults. These recommendations are intended to assist physical therapists and physical therapist assistants who are engaged in fall risk management for community-dwelling older adults.
