[RISK FACTORS IN FALL-RELATED INJURIES AMONG THE ELDERLY POPULATION].
Article in Arta medica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Fall injuries are a significant global health problem, often causing disability, mortality, and high morbidity worldwide. Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional death worldwide. About a third of the elderly suffer a fall at least once a year, and this rate increases significantly for those over 80. The purpose of the present study was to identify the causes of fall injuries and to develop measures to prevent them in the population aged 65 and over in the Republic of Moldova. Materials and methods: Using the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, 20 articles were included in the analysis, selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data from these articles were evaluated, synthesized, and described narratively. Results: According to the reviewed studies, factors that can lead to various fall injuries in the elderly include individual history, muscle weakness and lack of balance, visual impairments, taking multiple medications, such as sedatives, antidepressants, and antihypertensives, vitamin D deficiency, internal and external environmental factors, or cognitive disorders. Preventive measures can reduce the risk of falls, contributing to an independent and safe lifestyle for this community. Conclusion: Studying the risk factors involved in various fall injuries in the elderly could help decision-makers adopt effective strategies and approaches for their prevention and control.
