Risk of Diminished Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) After an Older Adult Fall, Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, 2015-2020.
Article in American journal of lifestyle medicine, 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
Our study estimates the odds of older adults developing limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) after a fall and examines additional factors for developing ADL/IADL limitations. We used 2015-2020 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey data and calculated crude and adjusted odds ratios of developing ADLs/IADLs with 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusting for demographic and health variables. Older adults who fell had twice the odds of developing ADL (OR = 2.02; CI:1.70-2.39) or IADL (OR = 2.46; CI:2.11-2.87) limitations in the year following the fall compared with those who did not fall. Among those who fell, adjusted ORs for developing ADL or IADL limitations were significantly higher for adults aged 75+ compared with those 65-74, and for adults with 2 or more chronic conditions compared to those with less than 2 chronic conditions. Adjusted ORs were lower for adults who engaged in moderate or vigorous physical activity compared with those who did not. Although the likelihood of developing limitations after a fall may increase with age, engaging in physical activity or other preventive measures may be protective.
