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

backgroundFrailty syndrome is now becoming a challenge for multidisciplinary teams. Frailty assessment in elderly patients is recommended due to the associated cascade of irreversible alterations that ultimately result in disability.

aimsThe purpose of this article is to identify interventions, which can be implemented and performed by nurses as part of a multidisciplinary plan. Nursing strategies related to nutrition, polypharmacy, adherence to treatment, falls, exercise, and mood and cognitive intervention are described.

designDiscussion paper. DATA SOURCES: Relevant and up-to-date literature from PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases regarding the selected issues, such as nutritional status, polypharmacy, falls, physical activity, and cognitive functions.

conclusionFrailty is considered preventable or even reversible with the appropriate interventions, which can help maintain or even restore physical abilities, cognitive function, or nutritional status in frail elderly patients. Hence, the nursing interventions are significant in clinical practice and should be implemented for frail patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Health-care providers, especially nurses, in their clinical practice should recognize not only elderly patients but also elderly patients with concurrent frailty, requiring intensified therapeutic interventions tailored to their individual needs. Frailty syndrome is undoubtedly a challenge for multidisciplinary teams providing health care for geriatric patients.
