Fall-related factors in older adults by frailty status: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of Korean gerontological nursing, 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
purposeThis descriptive study aimed to identify the factors associated with falls in older adults according to frailty status.
methodsData from 9,955 older adults in the 2023 National Survey of Older Koreans were analyzed. Differences in demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related behaviors by frailty status were evaluated using the Rao-Scott X2 test. A complex-sample general linear model was used to evaluate the frequency of falls. Complex-sample multiple logistic regression analyses were performed with falls as the dependent variable to examine their associations with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living limitation, cognitive impairment, and depression according to frailty status, adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related factors.
resultsThe number of falls was 1.40±0.08 in the robust group, 1.89±0.10 in the prefrail group, and 2.88±0.43 in the frail group. Instrumental Activities of Daily Living limitation was significantly associated with fall experience only in the prefrail group. Depression was identified as a significant fall-related factor including the robust, prefrail, and frail groups.
conclusionHigher frailty levels were associated with an increased number of falls, suggesting that frailty management should be included in fall prevention strategies. Different fall prevention interventions based on frailty status are needed. Therefore, screening for depression should be included in fall prevention programs for older adults.
