Evaluating the PM ACTIVAS Nurse-Led Preventive Care Model for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesFalls among community-dwelling older adults are a major public health challenge and a leading cause of functional decline. Although multifactorial fall prevention strategies are recommended, evidence on comprehensive nurse-led preventive care models in primary health care remains limited. This study evaluated the clinical effects of the PM ACTIVAS nurse-led preventive care model among community-dwelling older adults in routine primary health care.
methodsThis article reports the quantitative component of a broader mixed-methods research programme. A two-arm randomized controlled trial included 220 community-dwelling adults aged 65-80 years randomly assigned to the PM ACTIVAS intervention (n = 110) or usual care (n = 110). The 12-month intervention combined multidimensional fall-risk assessment, individualized care planning, home environmental assessment, health education, a home safety kit, family involvement, and monthly telephone follow-up. The primary outcome was the number of falls (fall frequency) during the 12-month follow-up; secondary outcomes were fall occurrence, modifiable fall-risk factors, recognition of environmental fall hazards, and fear of falling.
resultsPrimary outcome data were available for 145 participants, with no significant between-group difference in the number of falls (
conclusionsAlthough the PM ACTIVAS nurse-led preventive care model did not significantly reduce the number of falls over 12 months, it reduced modifiable fall-risk factors and improved recognition of environmental hazards. These findings suggest that coordinated nurse-led care may provide a structured approach to operationalizing evidence-based fall prevention within routine primary health care and support further evaluation of this model in community settings.
