Accidents from falls among hospitalized patients in Emergency Units: a multicenter study.
Observational study in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2026. 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
objectivesto analyze the occurrence of falls among patients hospitalized in emergency units.
methodsa cross-sectional study conducted from October 2020 to January 2021 in the emergency units of four hospitals in the city of Belo Horizonte. Sociodemographic, clinical, event-related, and post-fall data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression.
resultsamong the 89 medical records analyzed, falls were more frequent among elderly male patients, presenting with psychomotor agitation/mental confusion, occurring in the afternoon period and while on stretchers. Logistic regression revealed that patients who developed complications following the fall were associated with a higher degree of harm requiring intervention (moderate, severe, or death). Overall parameters of (OR: 19.64; p = 0.007), while only female sex related to (OR: 0.16; p = 0.037).
conclusionsin emergency settings, patients who experienced complications due to falls tended to evolve with a degree of harm that demanded more interventions and led to irreversible outcomes. Female sex was associated with the occurrence of harm not requiring intervention.
