Modified Fall Risk Appraisal Matrix and Mental Health in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
Article in Clinical gerontologist. 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
objectivesThe fall risk appraisal (FRA) matrix provides multidimensional approaches to detecting falls in late adulthood. This study investigated a modified FRA (mFRA) matrix based on self-assessed fall risk (SFR) and fear of falling (FOF). We also compared the mental health and characteristics of the four mFRA groups: Rational (low SFR and low FOF), Irrational (low SFR and high FOF), Incongruent (high SFR and low FOF), and Congruent (high SFR and high FOF).
methodsThis study used data from 181 older adults (MeanAge = 74.58, SDAge = 7.13) in Central Florida. SFR was measured using the CDC Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries fall checklist. FOF was measured using the Short Fall Efficacy Scale-International. Descriptive and group comparison analyses were performed using SPSS.
resultsThe participants were categorized: Rational (
conclusionsFindings provided empirical evidence to design fall prevention and interventions that consider older adults' experiential and psychological fall risks. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Fall risks of older adults may be measured and comprehended as a multidimensional concept.
