Assess frailty but avoid frailtyism.
Article in European heart journal supplements : journal of the European Society of Cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 assessment of frailty in heart failure patients can help clinicians to build a tailored care plan, aimed at improving the selection of patients likely to benefit from one treatment vs. another, thereby improving outcomes. Although progress has been made in the 'operationalization' of frailty assessment, there is still the need to provide an improved instrument to assess frailty that is easy, quick and at the same time predictive within the setting of a busy clinical practice. Using such an ideal instrument, clinicians would be able to optimize the use of limited health care resources and avoid what has been termed 'frailtyism'. This term, similar to ageism, can be defined as prejudice or discrimination based on the presence of frailty.
