Cognitive Frailty among Older Adults in Rural Areas: Prevalence and Risk Factors.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCognitive frailty (CF), which is a combination of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, has been associated with functional deterioration in the elderly. However, information about the prevalence of CF and associated factors among Saudi older adults is lacking.
objectivesTo assess the prevalence of CF and its associated factors in Saudi community-dwelling older adults.
designCross-sectional.
settingCommunity-based. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThise study included community-dwelling elderly adults aged 60 years and over living in the Riyadh region. This study took place from August 2019 to June 2020. CF was defined as the co-existence of physical frailty and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) without dementia. The association between sociodemographic and clinical factors and CF was estimated using the relative risk ratio and confidence intervals (RRR; CIs 95%) using a multivariable binary logistic regression.
main outcome measuresFried's frailty phenotype index; and the Mini-Mental State Examination. SAMPLE SIZE: A total of 421 community-dwelling older adults (63% male; mean [SD] age 70 [7.1] years).
resultsThe overall prevalence of CF was 6.1%. The following factors were associated with CF: age (RRR 16.3; 95% CI 4.91-54.4), being single (RRR = 3.76 95% CI 1.70-8.31), and number of chronic conditions (RRR 3.1; 95% CI 1.74-5.49).
conclusionsThis study indicated the high prevalence of CF among Saudi community-dwelling older individuals compared to other populations. Screening for early diagnosis should be incorporated during examination for older adults. LIMITATIONS: The cross-sectional design limits the causality inference with associated risk factors.
