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

Background: Falls are a major cause of hospital acquired complications and inpatient harm. Interventions to prevent falls exist, but it is unclear which are most effective and what implementation strategies best support their use. This study sought to ascertain the impact of a co-designed implementation enhancement plan on the adoption and effect of a digital fall prevention platform in a new hospital. Methods: A non-randomized pre-post interventional study using multi-methods. A bespoke survey as well as descriptive and inferential statistical analysis of hospital administrative data and were used to identify the impact on: (1) adoption of the system and (2) the rate of falls. Results: The co-design implementation enhancement plan successfully improved the adoption of some key platform functions, most importantly, a 39% increase ( Conclusion: The co-designed implementation enhancement plan improved uptake of the platform and is likely to be effective for other similar interventions. The platform shows the potential to reduce falls among cognitively intact patients, but longer periods of observation and a larger sample are needed to confirm the effect. Aside from falls, a reduction in nurse response time is likely to improve patient care and experience.
