Measuring Frailty in Health Care Databases for Clinical Care and Research.
Review in Annals of geriatric medicine and research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Considering the increasing burden and serious consequences of frailty in aging populations, there is increasing interest in measuring frailty in health care databases for clinical care and research. This review synthesizes the latest research on the development and application of 21 frailty measures for health care databases. Frailty measures varied widely in terms of target population (16 ambulatory, 1 long-term care, and 4 inpatient), data source (16 claims-based and 5 electronic health records [EHR]-based measures), assessment period (6 months to 36 months), data types (diagnosis codes required for 17 measures, health service codes for 7 measures, pharmacy data for 4 measures, and other information for 9 measures), and outcomes for validation (clinical frailty for 7 measures, disability for 7 measures, and mortality for 16 measures). These frailty measures may be useful to facilitate frailty screening in clinical care and quantify frailty for large database research in which clinical assessment is not feasible.
