Educated peers' experiences and perceptions of the group-based FallFitness exercise programme for older adults.
Trial report in Age and ageing, 2025. 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
introductionDespite evidence supporting the effectiveness of exercise-based fall prevention interventions, implementing these programmes in practice remains challenging. Peer-led exercise programmes have demonstrated effectiveness in delivering fall prevention education to older adults. Therefore, this study aimed to explore older adults' experiences of being trained and serving as peer leaders in a group-based fall prevention exercise programme, focusing on the skills and qualities required for leadership. Additionally, the study sought to identify facilitators and barriers influencing training and the programme's long-term implementation. MATERIALS AND
methodsParticipants were recruited from a randomised controlled trial. Two focus group interviews were conducted with 13 participants from the exercise arm of the randomised controlled trial (nine females and four males). Data were analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis.
resultsFive main categories and nine subcategories emerged, capturing key aspects of the study aim. The categories were: (a) education to prepare fall fitness peer-led trainers; (b) peer-led trainer characteristics and roles during training sessions; (c) physical training environment; (d) psychosocial environment; and (e) prerequisites for the long-term sustainability of the FallFitness programme.
conclusionsThe 'train-the-trainer' approach for peer-led fall prevention interventions was found to be effective, highlighting the value of integrating theoretical and practical components in training. Participant feedback will inform future improvements to the FallFitness programme, ensuring its continued implementation and effectiveness.
