Exploring the Relationship between Frailty, Functional Status, Polypharmacy, and Quality of Life in Elderly and Middle-Aged Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases: A One-Year Follow-Up Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
The association between frailty, disability in activities of daily living (ADL), polypharmacy, and quality of life (QoL) in middle-aged patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is little investigated. This study sought (a) to explore this association comparatively in elderly and middle-aged hospitalized patients with CVD and (b) to determine which domains of ADL and QoL might improve the frailty prediction. A one-year follow-up study including 90 elderly (≥65 years old) and 89 middle-aged patients (40-65 years old) was conducted. At baseline, frailty assessment was performed based on the Fried criteria; Barthel Index (BI) and Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) were used for ADL, and European Quality of Life-5 dimensions (EQ-5D) for QoL. At follow-up, data were collected via telephone. At baseline, 79 patients (51 elderly and 28 middle-aged) were frail. The CVD frail patients showed functional dependency and a poor QoL compared to the non-frail (
