Comparison Between the Physical Performance Test and the Clinical Frailty Score in Adult Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Treated by Haemodialysis.
Article in Gerontology & geriatric medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Elderly patients with chronic kidney disease treated by haemodialysis are at increased risk of malnutrition and cachexia, becoming frail, with associated greater mortality. The physical performance test (PPT), using nine tasks to assess multiple domains of physical function is robust and reproducible, but time consuming, whereas the clinical frailty score (CFS) is more rapid. We compared the results from independent blinded observers in 22 haemodialysis patients, 16 (72.7%) male, mean age 65 ± 12.5 years. The PPT and CFS scores were highly correlated (r = -0.88,
