Risk of falls in hospitalized pregnant women: a descriptive, correlational study.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the risk of falls and associated factors among hospitalized pregnant women and to evaluate the measurement consistency between the Itaki II Fall Risk Scale and the Assessment Scale for Risk of Falling in Pregnant Women.
methodsThis descriptive, correlational study was performed in the obstetrics ward of a university hospital between March and August 2024. A total of 165 pregnant women were included in the study. Data were collected using the Assessment Scale for Risk of Falling in Pregnant Women questionnaire and the Itaki II Fall Risk Scale. For data analysis, the Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Spearman's correlation, linear regression, and Bland-Altman analysis were employed.
resultsThe prevalence of falls during pregnancy was 10.3%. The median total Assessment Scale for Risk of Falling in Pregnant Women score was 9, whereas the median Itaki II Fall Risk Scale score was 2. Gestational weight gain, gestational age, spouse's education level, and the presence of chronic diseases were significantly associated with fall risk (p<0.05). A low-level significant correlation was found between the scales, and Bland-Altman analyses indicated that there was no measurement coherence between the two scales.
conclusionEarly identification of pregnant women at risk of falls and implementation of appropriate preventive strategies are critical for patient safety. Therefore, it is recommended to develop a reliable fall risk assessment tool tailored for hospitalized pregnant women and to provide education programs and environmental modifications.
