[Design and validation of the scale to assess the fragility of chronic patients].
Observational study in Atencion primaria, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo create a scale and tool that allows us to measure the fragility of the chronic patient.
designObservational study on the area's chronicles. LOCATION: Between January 2011 and December 2015, a population of 2108 individuals. Data were collected from the medical history and expressed application for the registration of fragile patients, on structured data collection sheet.
participantsFragile subjects of the North Sanitary Area of Malaga.
interventionDesign and validation of a scale. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Study variables. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE: Antequera Fragility Scale (EPADI) consisting of five criteria / factors: age, Pfeiffer, Barthell, Charlson, sociofamiliar and pluripatological. Accessibility outcome variables were used as prediction variables. Quantitative variables are described by mean and standard deviation. The qualitative variables are presented in frequencies along with their percentages. To obtain a predictive model of resource utilization the sample was divided into two subsamples of equal size.
resultsFrom the variables of interest by experts, univariate predictors were identified in the use of resources in the sample M_EPADI1, to construct a model of multivariate logistic regression that allows to predict the resource utilization. For the validation of the scale, the sample M_EPADI2 was used.
conclusionsIt was verified that the criteria used in our scale are adequate to define the fragility, therefore the EPADI scale perfectly values the degree of fragility of chronic users based on the resources consumed.
