Social Frailty and Health-Related Quality of Life in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
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 19 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
This study aimed to identify the association between social frailty and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to identify the factors influencing HRQoL in community-dwelling older adults in South Korea. This was a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey study of 735 older adults. HRQoL was measured using the EuroQoL-5 Dimension, and social frailty was measured using five items. The differences in HRQoL according to sociodemographic characteristics, health-related characteristics, and social frailty of subjects were tested using the Mann−Whitney test, Kruskal−Wallis test, and χ2 test. A Tobit regression model was used to identify the influencing factor of HRQoL. About 31.0% of the older adults were in a social pre-frailty state, and 48.4% were in a social frailty state. Of the five components of social frailty, going out less compared to the previous year and being alone were frequently observed. Older adults who had social frailty had lower HRQoL scores than those who were robust after controlling for sociodemographic and health-related characteristics (BT = −0.04, p < 0.001). Researchers need to consider older adults’ social frailty as well as health status and sociodemographic status in future interventions to improve the HRQoL of older adults.
