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
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the level of fall risk and its associations with fall awareness and social support among community-dwelling older adults with functional limitations. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to October 2025. Using cluster sampling, 825 older adults with functional limitations were recruited from four communities in Chengdu, China. Fall risk was assessed using the Modified Falls Risk for Older People in the Community Assessment (MFROP-com), fall awareness was measured with the Self-awareness of Falls in Elderly Scale (SAFE), and social support was evaluated via the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. Results: Participants exhibited a high fall risk (mean score 26.51 ± 10.95). The regression model explained a significant proportion of variance in fall risk (Adjusted Conclusion: Fall awareness and social support were identified as key modifiable factors associated with reduced fall risk among community-dwelling older adults with functional limitations. Fall prevention programs should focus on enhancing risk perception and strengthening social support networks for this population.
