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

Frailty is a multifactorial medical syndrome characterized by reduced endurance and decreased physiological ability. The aim of this narrative literature review is to present the frailty diagnostic instruments that are already used in most Western countries and provide recommendations for use in clinical practice. Among the numerous available frailty instruments identified in current literature, the Frailty Index and the Physical Frailty Phenotype are most commonly used. There are large differences in each instrument design, ease of use by healthcare teams and also significant heterogeneity in the design of the studies based on these instruments. Therefore, future studies should be designed to properly address the discrepancy in the comparison of the existent instruments and consider their validity and feasibility of implementation in different healthcare settings with different healthcare providers.
