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

Background: The impact of patient sex and race on clinical in-hospital outcomes and expenditures of falls in older adults remain underexplored. This study examines sex- and race-based disparities of fall-related hospitalizations. Study design: All hospitalizations for adults (≥65 years) from falls were identified (National Inpatient Sample, 2017-2021). Patients were stratified into sex and racial groups (White and Non-White). Multivariable logistic (dichotomous variables) and linear (continuous variables) regression modeling compared clinical in-hospital outcomes, resource utilization, and hospital costs stratified by sex and race. Results: An estimated 5,870,482 (survey-weighted) older adults experienced a fall-related hospital admission, with annual incidence rising from 1,108,024 to 1,210,547 ( Conclusion: Sex and race are associated with differences in clinical in-hospital outcomes and expenditures in older adult fall hospitalizations, suggesting potential variations in treatment, recovery, and access to care. Further research is needed to better understand these disparities and inform strategies for more equitable care.
