1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive power of a latent measure of frailty based on the physical indicators proposed for the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) on the quality of life and perceived health status in a representative sample of Spanish older adults.

designDescriptive cross-sectional study.

settingSpain.

participantsThe sample was composed of 4,498 community-dwelling older Spanish adults aged 60 or over, extracted from wave six of SHARE. PRINCIPAL MEASUREMENTS: A structural equation model was used to define the frailty factor based on the five physical indicators proposed for SHARE (mobility, appetite, fatigue, activity, and strength), and test its effects on quality of life and perceived health status.

resultsResults showed an excellent fit of the model to the data (P<.001, CFI=.977, and SRMR=.041). Frailty factor explained 39.5% of the variance in quality of life and 61.6% of the variance in perceived health.

conclusionsThe latent factor of frailty presented in this construct has an excellent fit to the data. The predictive power of frailty on the quality of life and perceived health in a sample of the Spanish population is highlighted.
