[Perioperative risk assessment of geriatric patients undergoing noncardiac surgery].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundOlder patients more often suffer perioperative complications than younger people. Especially geriatric patients who require emergency treatment represent a high-risk group. Therefore, perioperative risk assessment supports the treatment team in identifying patients at risk and in defining the treatment plan accordingly. MATERIALS AND
methodsA thorough medical history and clinical examination are pivotal elements of any risk stratification. The organ-specific risk assessment is primarily used to plan the surgical and anesthesiological procedures.
resultsFor a comprehensive risk assessment in geriatric patients, the organ-specific risk stratification is insufficient. Assessment instruments that reflect the idiosyncrasies of multidimensional disease in geriatric patients can complement risk stratification. These should include the assessment of multimorbidity, frailty, nutrition, activities of daily living, and cognition. In addition to risk prediction, geriatric assessment has the major advantage of providing both a diagnostic and a planning perspective. This allows the implementation of supporting measures for optimal perioperative care, which is the goal of any risk stratification. Risk scores provide a global assessment, but they have their limitations in predicting individual patient risk.
