Opportunities to Digitally Enable Falls Prevention in Older Adults.
Review in The Gerontologist, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Falls are a serious problem confronting older adults. Evidence demonstrates that multifactorial interventions that target multiple risk factors can reduce falls. However, resource and access constraints affect intervention uptake and sustainability. In comparison, digitally enabled interventions have the potential to provide greater support and convenience whilst being tailored to an individual. Although digital advancements present an opportunity to improve access, scalability, and sustainability, there is limited knowledge on how to digitally enable traditional interventions. In this article, we summarize the academic literature on digital falls prevention and propose future research directions for digital falls prevention. We examine barriers and enablers to digital falls prevention in aged care, although, given the scarcity of evidence, we draw on lessons from other digital healthcare innovations.
