A Frailty Assessment Tool to Predict In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

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
Background: The exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a chronic, frequent, and life-threatening lung disease. In 2014, a frailty index (FI) based on deficits in commonly used laboratory tests (FI-Lab) was suggested to identify older adults at increased risk of death. Objective: We aim to study the prognostic value of the FI-Lab in older Chinese patients who were admitted because of AECOPD. Methods: We screened 1932 older patients hospitalized with AECOPD from September 2016 to June 2019 at Zhenjiang First People's Hospital, China. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality. Results: A total of 77 survivors and 77 non-survivors were finally included in the study. Both the mean DECAF (including dyspnea, eosinopenia, consolidation, acidemia, and atrial fibrillation) score and the mean FI-Lab value of non-survivors were statistically higher than those of survivors (4.45 ± 0.80 versus 3.03 ± 0.90, Conclusion: FI-Lab is a simple, efficient, and objective tool to stratify the risk of in-hospital mortality of AECOPD.
