Association of Chronic Heart Failure with Frailty, Malnutrition, and Sarcopenia Parameters in Older Patients-A Cross-Sectional Study in a Geriatric Ward.

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 need to assess sarcopenia and frailty in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) has recently been raised. This cross-sectional study of 416 geriatric ward patients (median age (Me)-82 (IQR, 77-86) years, 77.4% female, 96.9% community dwelling) aimed to assess the prevalence of dynapenia, frailty syndrome, functional and nutritional health, and co-morbidity regarding their HF status. We collected data from comprehensive geriatric assessment. We observed HF in 162 (38.9%) patients, with 80 (49.4%) classified as New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV. HF patients were significantly older, more frequently male, obese, hospitalized in the previous year, burdened with multimorbidity and polypharmacy, classified as frail, dependent on daily living activities, and physically non-active. Ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, anemia, chronic kidney disease, history of myocardial infarction, and stroke were found significantly more often in the HF group. A considerably higher percentage of HF patients had dynapenia (54.9% versus 41.9%,
