Falls and Injuries After Heading to a Bomb Shelter Following Rocket Warning Sirens in Israel.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundIn recent years, Israel has experienced a rise in rocket attacks, forcing civilians to evacuate quickly to bomb shelters. These rapid evacuations have resulted in increased fall-related injuries, particularly among vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with preexisting medical conditions.
objectiveTo assess the patterns of injuries, the contributing factors to falls and orthopedic injuries, particularly fractures, sustained during falls in the process of evacuation to shelters during rocket warning sirens.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study, including 174 patients treated at Rambam Health Care Campus for falls and injuries sustained during evacuation to bomb shelters following rocket warning sirens.
resultsThe mean age was 54.4 years; 106 (60.9%) were female. We found that women were significantly older than men, with a 50% likelihood of being >56 years (
conclusionFalls during shelter evacuation constitute a major orthopedic hazard. Women were significantly older and consequently more susceptible to serious fall incidents. Comorbidities (especially metabolic and cardiovascular) may further increase risk. Preventive measures should focus on house security and the specific protection of high-risk individuals.
