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

Objectives: To examine the association between previous-year fall history and eyes-open one-leg standing time among employees aged 50-65 years. Methods: This worksite-based cross-sectional study invited 115 employees of a Japanese transportation company; 106 enrolled and 100 with complete, valid records were analyzed. Fall history was defined as at least one self-reported fall during daily life in the previous year. Eyes-open one-leg standing was measured twice, with the longer value used and a maximum of 120 seconds. Group comparisons, age- and body mass index-adjusted logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed. Results: The sample included 98 men and 2 women; 60 reported a fall. Median standing time was shorter with than without fall history (45.48 versus 76.74 seconds; p=0.018). The adjusted odds ratio per 10-second increase was 0.90 (95% confidence interval, 0.81-0.99; p=0.035). The area under the curve was 0.64 (95% confidence interval, 0.53-0.74). Conclusions: : Shorter standing time was associated with previous-year fall history, but discrimination was limited. The test may support worksite fall-risk awareness and further assessment, but should not be used alone for diagnosis or employment decisions.
