Initial functional disability as a 1-year prognostic factor in geriatric patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Trial report in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04560608 (Elucidating the Symptomatic, Explanatory and Prognostic Characteristics of GERIAtric Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundSARS-CoV2 infection has affected many older people and has required us to adapt our practices to this new pathology. Initial functional capacity is already considered an important prognostic marker in older patients particularly during infections.
aimThe objective of this longitudinal study was to determine whether baseline functional disability was associated with mortality risk after 1 year in older patients hospitalized for COVID-19.
methodsAll COVID-19 patients admitted to the geriatric acute care unit of Angers University Hospital, France, between March-June 2020 received a group iso-ressource (GIR) assessment upon admission. Disability was defined as a GIR score≤3. All-cause mortality was collected after 1 year of follow-up. Covariables were age, sex, history of malignancies, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, number of acute diseases at baseline, and use of antibiotics or respiratory treatments during COVID-19 acute phase.
resultsIn total, 97 participants (mean±SD 88.0+5.4 years; 49.5% women; 46.4% GIR score≤3) were included. 24 of the 36 patients who did not survive 1 year had a GIR score ≤ 3 (66.7%; P = 0.003). GIR score≤3 was directly associated with 1-year mortality (fully adjusted HR = 2.27 95% CI: 1.07-4.89). Those with GIR≤3 at baseline had shorter survival time than the others (log-rank P = 0.0029).
conclusionsInitial functional disability was associated with poorer survival in hospitalized frail elderly COVID-19 patients. CLINICAL
