Mindfulness, Depression, and Fall Risk in Low-Income Older Adults.
Article in Research in health and medicine, 2025. 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
Introduction: Mindfulness, through mind-body practices, promotes awareness and presence. Its practice, along with reduced depression, may improve balance and lower fall risk in older adults. This study examined the association between mindfulness, depression, and fall risk among low-income, community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 103 community-dwelling, low-income older adults, including 16 males and 87 females, with a mean age = 75.70 years (95% CI ± 7.19). Mindfulness was assessed with the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and fall risk with the CDC's checklist for elderly accidents and injuries. Multiple regression analysis was conducted. Results: Mindfulness was negatively correlated with fall risk ( Conclusions: This study demonstrates that mindfulness and depression are predictors of fall risk. Community-dwelling low-income older adults may benefit from mind-body exercises. These exercises can help them become more aware and enhance their mental health, which may lower their risk of falling.
