Prognostic and Therapeutic Implications of Frailty in Older Adults with Heart Failure.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 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
Frailty is increasingly recognized in older adults with cardiovascular disease, particularly in those with heart failure (HF). A growing body of evidence has shown that frailty has a negative effect on survival, hospitalizations, disability, and quality of life. Beyond frailty, additional domains captured by a comprehensive geriatric assessment contribute incremental value in predicting outcomes and identifying treatment targets. Exercise training is ideally suited to this setting as it can concomitantly improve physical frailty and HF symptoms. Multidisciplinary disease management programs offer a number of benefits for frail HF patients; invasive procedures carry a higher risk of morbidity than in non-frail counterparts, and evidence-based drugs and devices have an uncertain value and warrant further research. While more data accrues, difficult therapeutic decisions should be individualized using a shared patient-centered decision making approach.
