[Physical training as core component of multimodal treatment of older frail people-study protocol of a randomized controlled pilot study].

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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveClinical practice guidelines recommend a multimodal intervention based on standardized screening for the treatment of frailty, which includes physical exercise as the main component. This study protocol describes a planned randomized controlled pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a main study and first assessment of the effects of a multimodal, resource-oriented intervention program on frailty in older people. METHODS AND ANALYSES: A total of 50 community-dwelling older men and women with frailty, ≥65 years of age, will be randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. The intervention group receives usual care and a multimodal intervention program. This program consists of a multidimensional screening, verbal counselling, written instructions on individual functional and health status, a home-based physical exercise program (high-intensity functional exercise program, HIFE), and support related to cognition, mood, risk of falling, medication, nutrition and self-care as required. The control group participants will receive usual care only. The feasibility will be assessed by indicators for processes, resources and management (practicability), as well as for acceptance, safety and possible effects of the intervention. The frailty index and secondary clinical endpoints will be assessed before and after the 3‑month intervention, as well as after a 3-month follow-up to estimate the effects. Data will be analyzed according to the intention-to-treat principle. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the German Physiotherapy Association (ref. number: 2017-02). Outcomes will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal and at specialist conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: German Clinical Trial Register: DRKS00011831.
