Predictive validity of PRISMA-7 as a screening instrument for frailty in a hospital setting.
Article in BMJ open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectivesFrailty is a major clinical geriatric syndrome associated with serious adverse events including functional disability, falls, hospitalisation, increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to study the associations between frailty defined as Program of Research to Integrate Services for the Maintenance of Autonomy (PRISMA-7) score ≥3 and use of healthcare resources in hospital and in the municipality as well as association between frailty and mortality.
designRegister-based retrospective study.
settingThe target population consists of patients aged 75 years or above who, during hospital stay, were assessed by a physiotherapist, and at discharge from hospital were prescribed further physical training in the community.
participants973 individuals aged 75+ years were included. OUTCOME MEASURES: We examined associations between frailty and use of healthcare resources in hospital and in the municipality as well as the association between frailty and mortality.
results973 individuals aged 75+ years were included. Of these, 63.9% had a PRISMA-7 score ≥3 and were thus defined as frail. Frail individuals were older compared with non-frail with mean ages of 84.6 and 80.4 years, respectively, p>0.001. Age and gender-adjusted mortality after 1 year was higher among the frail (OR 2.46, 95% CI 1.53 to 3.97). Use of healthcare services in the municipality as well as hospital admissions was significantly higher among frail individuals.
conclusionsBased on these findings we consider PRISMA-7 to be useful in an in-hospital setting as a screening tool to identify frail elderly patients who may profit from further geriatric assessment during hospital stay. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ID REG-070-2017.
