Falls risk perception and its influencing factors in elderly patients with hip fracture: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 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
objectivesTo explore the status and influencing factors of fall risk perception in elderly hip fracture patients, and to inform clinical fall prevention strategies.
methodsThis cross‑sectional study enrolled 162 elderly patients with hip fracture from Mianyang Central Hospital. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Fall Risk Perception Questionnaire (FRPQ), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), a simplified anxiety‑depression scale, and the Fall Efficacy Scale. One‑way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression were used for analysis.
resultsMean age was 78.33 ± 9.32 years, and mean FRPQ score was 35.43 ± 12.00 (out of 78). ANOVA showed significant associations with age, education, payment method, and first‑ambulation pain (P < 0.05); moderate‑to‑severe pain was linked to lower scores. Correlation analysis revealed negative correlations with anxiety (r= ‑ 0.358) and depression (r= ‑ 0.520), and positive correlations with social support (r = 0.444) and fall efficacy (r = 0.600) (P < 0.01). Regression identified fall efficacy, social support, and high school/technical secondary education as positive independent predictors, while anxiety, depression, and moderate‑to‑severe pain were negative predictors ( R²=0.395, P < 0.05).
conclusionsPostoperative fall risk perception is relatively low in this population. Enhancing fall efficacy, social support, and education, while addressing anxiety, depression, and pain, may improve risk perception and reduce falls. Clinical attention should target patients with mood disorders, severe pain, and low education level, with comprehensive interventions including analgesia, psychological support, and efficacy‑building training.
