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

Epidemiologic findings indicate that unfavorable cardiovascular (CV) risk profiles, such as elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and overweight, decelerate with aging. Few studies, however, have evaluated the association between the CV risk profile and frailty. We performed a cross-sectional analysis using the baseline data of a prospective cohort study. A total of 599 subjects (age, 78 [range: 70-83] years; men, 50%) were analyzed in an outpatient setting. Frailty was diagnosed in 37% of the patients according to the Kihon Checklist score. An unfavorable CV risk profile was associated with a lower risk of frailty. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs; 95% confidence interval [CI]) of each CV risk factor for frailty were as follows: SBP (each 10 mmHg increase) 0.83 (0.72-0.95), LDL-C (each 10 mg/dl increase) 0.96 (0.86-1.05), and body mass index (each 1 kg/m
