Risk factors associated with injurious falls on snow or ice: results from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
Article in Innovation in aging, 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
Background and Objectives: Despite popular belief that adverse weather impacts the risk of falls, a multifactorial and leading cause of injury among older adults, this association is largely understudied. This study examined which individual characteristics are associated with increased risks of sustaining an injurious fall on snow/ice among Canadian older adults. Research Design and Methods: This cross-sectional secondary analysis used baseline data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. Participants who retrospectively reported an Results: Participants who fell on snow/ice were younger (62.1 vs. 63.9 years; Discussion and Implications: Middle-aged Canadian men are at higher risk for injurious falls on snow/ice. Results suggest that targeted public health guidelines may be needed for men under 65 to reduce this risk. More studies are needed to understand if this finding is generalizable to other countries with snow/ice.
