Factors Associated With Falls Among Residents Living in Long-Term Care Homes in Ontario.

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
introductionThe prevalence of falls in Ontario-based long-term care homes is above the provincial benchmark. There is limited research exploring the reason for such a variation. The research question guiding this study was: What are the risk factors for falls among all residents in Ontario's LTC homes?
methodsA retrospective, population-based study was conducted using Minimum Data Set assessments for all residents of long-term care in Ontario between April 2019 and March 2020. Binomial logistic regression analysis was used to determine the significance of the relationship of selected variables to falls.
resultsFindings identified a significant relationship between several variables that were not previously found in the existing literature and falls.
conclusionThis study has important implications for clinicians and researchers globally as they aim to better understand the increased prevalence of falls in older adults living in residential care. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Clinicians are encouraged to consider alternatives to high-risk medications and closely monitor residents on these medications, implement harm reduction strategies for residents with responsive behaviors, and routinely assess residents for bowel incontinence, cognitive decline, or increased care needs.
