Factors Affecting Home Injuries in Older Adults: An Analysis Using Binary Logistic Regression.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: This study aimed to identify injury patterns and contributing factors among older adults living in Tabriz City. Methods: A stratified random sampling method was used to select eligible participants. The sample size was determined by the population, with contributions calculated via a formula and simple random selection. The study analyzed data from 350 individuals aged over 60, residing in 350 households, using Results: The results showed that 177 participants (50.5%) experienced at least one type of home-related injury. Notably, women were found to be 5.1 times more likely to sustain an injury than men (CI: 95%; 2.38-11.08). Additionally, older adults who required assistance with instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) had at least 7.81 times higher risk of injury compared to their independent counterparts (CI: 95%; 7.81-118.24). Furthermore, the risk of injury was 6.1 times greater for those with no or only one potential caregiver, compared to older individuals with multiple caregivers (CI: 2.56-14.96). Conclusion: These findings emphasize the need to enhance home safety modification, particularly for older adults living alone. They underscore the importance of the challenges related to IADLs, highlighting the necessity for targeted interventions in injury prevention, design, and policy development.
