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
Purpose: To screen multidimensional frailty in older people, using a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) tool such as the multidimensional prognostic index (MPI), is a public health priority. Unfortunately, the screening tools available are not able to capture multidimensional frailty. In this work, we aimed to evaluate in a population of hospitalized and ambulatory older patients, the agreement between an abbreviated form of the MPI (ie, BRIEF-MPI) and the standard/full version. Participants and Methods: All participants included in the study completed both versions of the MPI, brief and full, which share the following domains: 1) basic and 2) instrumental activities of daily living, 3) mobility/risk of pressure sores, 4) cognition, 5) nutrition, 6) comorbidity, 7) social and 8) number of medications. The agreement between the two instruments was reported using either the mean comparisons with a Results: The study sample included 110 participants (mean age=83.2 years, 51.8% women). The mean difference was statistically and clinically irrelevant (mean difference=0.01±0.10; p=0.27). The correlation between brief and full MPI versions was optimal (R=0.82, p<0.0001). Using the Bland-Altman methodology, we observed that only three participants over 110 (=2.73%) were outside the limits of agreement. The accuracy of BRIEF-MPI in predicting multidimensional frailty, as full MPI>0.66, was optimal (area under the curve=0.92, p<0.0001). A BRIEF-MPI value of 0.59 yielded the highest sensitivity and specificity in predicting multidimensional frailty. Conclusion: BRIEF-MPI had a good agreement with the full/standard version of the MPI, making this tool as ideal for the screening of multidimensional frailty in older people.
