Frailty Is Associated With Adverse Postoperative Outcomes After Lung Cancer Resection.
Article in JTO clinical and research reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Introduction: Frailty is an important predictor of outcomes after noncardiac surgery. The 5-factor Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5) is a recently developed frailty metric that has not been adequately evaluated in relation to surgical therapy for lung cancer. We evaluated whether the mFI-5 is predictive of clinical and administrative outcomes after anatomical lung resection for cancer. Methods: Data in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database were used to evaluate the relationship of mFI-5 to outcomes of patients undergoing elective anatomical lung resection for cancer from 2015 to 2018 using logistic regression analyses. Results were compared with validated risk predictors, including the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification and the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Results: The mFI-5 score could be calculated for 36,587 patients. On univariate analyses, mFI-5 was significantly associated with all clinical and administrative outcomes in an incremental pattern ( Conclusions: The mFI-5 is independently predictive of almost all outcomes after lung resection for cancer. It can be calculated from data typically collected for thoracic surgical patients. Assessment of surgical candidates using mFI-5 may be useful in risk prediction and may identify patients who would benefit from mitigation of increased surgical risk related to frailty.
