1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Frailty poses a threat to the daily lives of healthy older adults, highlighting the urgent need for technologies that can monitor and prevent its progression. Our objective is to demonstrate a method for providing long-term daily frailty monitoring using an in-shoe motion sensor (IMS). We undertook two steps to achieve this goal. Firstly, we used our previously established SPM-LOSO-LASSO (SPM: statistical parametric mapping; LOSO: leave-one-subject-out; LASSO: least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) algorithm to construct a lightweight and interpretable hand grip strength (HGS) estimation model for an IMS. This algorithm automatically identified novel and significant gait predictors from foot motion data and selected optimal features to construct the model. We also tested the robustness and effectiveness of the model by recruiting other groups of subjects. Secondly, we designed an analog frailty risk score that combined the performance of the HGS and gait speed with the aid of the distribution of HGS and gait speed of the older Asian population. We then compared the effectiveness of our designed score with the clinical expert-rated score. We discovered new gait predictors for HGS estimation via IMSs and successfully constructed a model with an "excellent" intraclass correlation coefficient and high precision. Moreover, we tested the model on separately recruited subjects, which confirmed the robustness of our model for other older individuals. The designed frailty risk score also had a large effect size correlation with clinical expert-rated scores. In conclusion, IMS technology shows promise for long-term daily frailty monitoring, which can help prevent or manage frailty for older adults.
