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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate sleep quality and the fear of falling among community- dwelling older women living alone and to identify the factors influencing the fear of falling.

methodsThis descriptive correlational study included 178 community-dwelling older women living alone. Data were collected from December 10, 2023, to February 29, 2024. The collected data were analyzed using t-tests, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple linear regression.

resultsThe results of this study showed that age (β=.29, p<.001), community activity (β= -.23, p<.001), depression (β=.29, p<.001), social participation (β=-.18, p=.004), and sleep quality (β=.37, p<.001) were significantly associated with the fear of falling.

conclusionIdentifying the factors influencing the fear of falling, including sleep quality, among community-dwelling older women living alone highlights the need to develop preventive programs tailored to the characteristics of this population.
