Fall prevention protocol for adult patients in an inpatient unit: implementation and maintenance costs.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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
objectiveTo analyze the average direct costs related to nursing professionals' labor and materials required to implement and maintain a fall prevention protocol for adult patients in a Clinical and Surgical Inpatient Unit.
methodQuantitative, exploratory-descriptive research, of the single case study type, based on absorption microcosting, carried out from August to October/2024 in a Medium-sized General Private Hospital.
resultsThe direct cost for implementing the protocol totaled US$ 819.24, of which US$ 218.44 related to the direct labor of nursing professionals and US$ 600.80 to the acquisition of material resources. For protocol maintenance, the average total direct cost was US$ 1.77/patient for nursing activities and US$ 10.10 for direct monthly expenditure on materials.
conclusionKnowledge of the financial aspects associated with nursing professionals and the acquisition of material resources aimed at implementing and maintaining an adult fall prevention protocol may support decision-making regarding the rational allocation of required resources.
