Discrepancies between fall risk and fall awareness in hospitalized elderly patients with cataracts: a cross-sectional study.

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
Objective: To investigate the discrepancies between fall risk and fall awareness among hospitalized elderly cataract patients, providing a basis for implementing precise fall prevention assessments and interventions in clinical practice. Methods: Using convenience sampling, 526 elderly cataract patients hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai from March 2025 to September 2025 were selected as study subjects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire, the Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Scale, and the Fall Awareness Scale to analyze the distribution characteristics and differences between fall risk and fall awareness, and to compare the differences in their influencing factors. Results: The fall risk score of hospitalized elderly cataract patients was (6.56 ± 3.44), indicating a moderate level, while the fall awareness score was (54.45 ± 11.27), also indicating a moderate level. There was no significant difference ( Conclusion: This study clearly demonstrates the widespread risk-awareness mismatch among hospitalized elderly cataract patients. Hospitalized elderly cataract patients exhibit a moderate level of fall risk but widespread fall awareness deviations, characterized by insufficient awareness among high-risk patients coexisting with excessive awareness among low-risk patients. Simple assessment of objective fall risk fails to identify patients' subjective cognitive biases. It is recommended to incorporate fall awareness assessment into routine nursing screenings to implement individualized and precise fall prevention interventions.
