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 multidimensional geriatric syndrome characterized by the loss of the individual reserve capacity and increased vulnerability to internal and external stressors. Frailty in older adults is associated with an increased risk for falls and loss of autonomy as well as an increased mortality. The identification of patients who suffer from frailty can trigger a comprehensive geriatric assessment and justify targeted treatment options. Furthermore, by the detection of frailty each patient with an increased risk of an unfavorable treatment outcome can be identified. There are a confusing number of instruments available for the detection of frailty but only a limited number of these instruments are available in a German version. The choice of an appropriate instrument is largely dependent on the clinical setting and the available resources.
