Rapid Geriatric Assessment, Physical Activity, and Sleep Quality in Adults Aged more than 65 Years: A Preliminary Study.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objective(1) To evaluate geriatric syndromes using the Rapid Geriatric Assessment; (2) To investigate possible association of geriatric syndomes with physical activity and sleep quality in adults aged more than 65 years who applied to outpatients physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic.
designA cross-sectional study.
settingOutpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic in Edirne, Turkey.
participantsA total of 56 adults (mean aged 69.7 ± 4.0 (range, 65-80) years, 33 women). MEASUREMENTS: The Rapid Geriatric Assessment, which includes the FRAIL Questionnaire Screening Tool for frailty, Simplified Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ), SARC-F Screen for Sarcopenia, and Rapid Cognitive Screen (RCS), was used to assess geriatric syndromes. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to obtain data regarding health-related physical activity. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure sleep quality during the past month.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 69.7 ± 4.0 years. Of the 56 patients, 12.5% were frail, 50.0% were pre-frail, 35.7% had sarcopenia, 44.6% had a risk of weight loss, 33.9% had dementia, 57.1% were physically inactive, and 53.6% had poor sleep quality. The total FRAIL and SARC-F scores were positively correlated with the global PSQI score (correlation coefficient (r) = 0.300, p < 0.05; r = 0,327, p < 0.05, respectively) and negatively correlated with the total RCS score (r= -0,267, p < 0.05; r = -0,314, p < 0.05, respectively)). The total FRAIL score was positively correlated with the SARC-F score (r = 0.695, p < 0.001), and the concurrence of frailty and sarcopenia in the same patients was 10.7%. The global PSQI score was negatively correlated with the SNAQ score (r = -0.273, p < 0.05).
conclusionFrailty and sarcopenia were positively correlated with poor sleep quality and negatively correlated with cognition and physical activity. In clinical practice, the Rapid Geriatric Assessment and determination of physical activity level could assist in disability prevention.
