Development and testing of a frailty-focused communication (FCOM) aid for older adults.
Article in Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 concept of frailty as it pertains to aging, health and well-being is poorly understood by older adults and the public-at-large. We developed an aging and frailty education tool designed to improve layperson understanding of frailty and promote behavior change to prevent and/or delay frailty. We subsequently tested the education tool among adults who attended education sessions at 16 community sites. Specific aims were to: 1) determine acceptability (likeability, understandability) of content, and 2) assess the likelihood of behavior change after exposure to education tool content. Results: Over 90% of participants "liked" or "loved" the content and found it understandable. Eighty-five percent of participants indicated that the content triggered a desire to "probably" or "definitely" change behavior. The desire to change was particularly motivated by information about aging, frailty and energy production. Eight focus areas for proactive planning were rated as important or extremely important by over 90% of participants.
