Examining Frailty Phenotype Dimensions in the Oldest Old.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
introductionFrailty has been studied among the old population due to its association with negative outcomes. Presently there is no gold standard for measuring frailty, but several studies have used the frailty phenotype of Fried consisting of five components (weakness, slowness, unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, and low physical activity) that classify individuals as robust, pre-frail, or frail, depending on the number of components affected, respectively, zero, one or two, and three or more. This study aims to explore the specific contribution of each of these components to the frailty phenotype in a sample of oldest old community-dwelling individuals. MATERIALS AND
methodsIndividuals aged 80+ years old living in the community (
resultsParticipants had a mean age of 88.07 years ( DISCUSSION: Results revealed a high number of pre-frail and frail participants. MCA proved to add an important understanding in examining the frailty phenotype; it revealed weakness as the most discriminant component for dimension 1, suggesting a high association with the frailty phenotype. MCA also identified two main features of frailty: one related with physical features (motor behavioral and grip strength) including weakness, low physical activity, and slowness; and the second related with intrinsic conditions (unintentional weight loss and exhaustion).
conclusionThis study corroborates the need of a differentiated approach to the frailty phenotype among very old individuals, bringing for consideration the specific influence of its components.
