Frailty in the perioperative setting.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
The frailty syndrome is defined as a decrease in physiological reserve across multiple organ systems leading to increased vulnerability to external stressors. Studies across surgical subspecialties and in emergency and elective settings have identified frailty as an independent predictor of adverse postoperative clinician-reported, patient-reported and process-related outcomes. Although frailty is not specific to the older population, it is associated with ageing and therefore is increasingly observed in the ageing surgical population. Identifying frailty early in the perioperative pathway affords the opportunity to assess risk, modify the syndrome, inform shared decision making and plan the surgical pathway. Multiple tools to screen and diagnose frailty exist with limited appraisal of clinometric properties. A pragmatic approach to these tools is advocated with a future focus on collaborative approaches to modify the syndrome using multicomponent methodology such as comprehensive geriatric assessment and adapt the pathway to the needs of the frail surgical patient.
