1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Inpatient falls are a significant health concern, leading to increased hospital stays, costs, and potential severe injuries or death. This study aims to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and challenges of inpatient falls in Firoozgar hospital . This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Tehran, Iran. The study included all patients who experienced a fall incident in Firoozgar hospital between April 2023 and March 2024. We included 90 patients with an average age of 57.49 years. Falls were more prevalent among men, older patients, and individuals with lower education levels. Underlying conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and addiction significantly increased the risk of falls. Identifying the specific causes of falls in each hospital ward can facilitate the development of targeted preventive strategies. Implementing environmental modifications and fall prevention measures could substantially reduce fall risks, enhance patient safety, and lower healthcare costs.
