Frailty in cardiothoracic surgery: systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
A preoperative surgical risk analysis is necessary and important for predicting clinical and surgical outcomes in a clinical setting. Various tools for evaluating the patient characteristics in order to forecast perioperative clinical outcomes have previously been described; however, an objective and precise preoperative risk assessment has not yet been established. In the last decade, the concept of frailty, which is a geriatric assessment that identifies disabilities and weaknesses in patients, has been used in order to predict clinical mortality and morbidity following invasive surgical interventions because the prevalence of elderly patients among those undergoing surgical interventions is increasing. Since there is currently no single generally accepted clinical definition of frailty, many clinical modalities are needed to evaluate the patients' geriatric activity of daily living. Quantifying the quality of frailty is an evolving challenge for predicting surgical risks preoperatively. In recent years, with the development of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), this newly definitive preoperative surgical risk assessment tool, frailty, has become more important and is attracting interest in cardiothoracic surgical settings. Thus, this review summarized current consideration on the preoperative risk analysis by frailty as well as future perspectives and the potential of an ideal frailty risk assessment in cardiothoracic surgery, including the management of elderly patients and high-risk aortic valve stenosis by TAVI.
