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

Purpose: Frailty is not commonly assessed on intake to cardiac rehabilitation (CR), but screening could enable targeted interventions and potentially reduce secondary complications. This study aimed to develop and retrospectively examine the feasibility of utilizing a CR-specific algorithm based on the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Our CFS-CR algorithm endeavoured to screen for frailty in older adults (> 65 y) entering CR following cardiac surgery/procedure. Method: The charts of 30 former patients (mean age: 74.0 ± 6.9 y) were examined by a clinician working in CR. Results: The clinician was unable to score any of the patients based on their medical charts using the CFS-CR due to insufficient data. Documentation was typically limited in the areas of instrumental and basic activities of daily living whereas exercise data were readily available. Conclusions: Current intake documentation in CR limited the ability to retrospectively screen for frailty. This finding suggests a need for a frailty-specific tool to support routine clinical screening. Prospective evaluation of the CFS-CR is warranted to further examine the clinical utility of the algorithm during CR intake assessments.
