Validation of the revised 9-scale clinical frailty scale (CFS) in Greek language.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundAmong many screening tools that have been developed to detect frailty in older adults, Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a valid, reliable and easy-to-use tool that has been translated in several languages. The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable version of the CFS to the Greek language.
methodsA Greek version was obtained by translation (English to Greek) and back translation (Greek to English). The "known-group" construct validity of the CFS was determined by using test for trends. Criterion concurrent validity was assessed by evaluating the extent that CFS relates to Barthel Index, using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Both inter-rater and test-retest reliability were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient.
resultsKnown groups comparison supports the construct validity of the CFS. The strong negative correlation between CFS and Barthel Index (r
conclusionThe Greek version of the CFS is a valid and reliable instrument for the identification of frailty in the Greek population.
