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

Background/aim: Frailty is an important, multidimensional geriatric syndrome defined as increased vulnerability to stressors. Fried frailty phenotype (FFP) is one of the most widely used models to define physical frailty. The aim of this study is to investigate the cross-cultural validity and reliability of Fried frailty phenotype (FFP) in older Turkish population. Materials and methods: A total of 450 patients, aged 59 years and over, were included. FFP translated into Turkish was used. Hand grip strength cut-off values that best predict low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) for Turkish men and women were calculated. A modified version of FFP was created by rescoring FFP according to these cut-off values applicable to Turkish population. Correlation analysis between the frailty assessment by comprehensive geriatric evaluation of clinician experienced in geriatric medicine, and FFP and modified version of FFP were performed for validation. Thirty-five patients underwent frailty assessment with FFP twice for reliability assessment. Inter-rater and intra-rater agreements were investigated. Results: Clinician's decision of frailty status demonstrated significant agreement with the results of FFP, as well as modified FFP. Interrater and intra-rater compliance were good. Best hand grip strength cut-off values for predicting low SMI in older Turkish population were determined as ≤13.6 kg (AUC: 0.841, p < 0.001) for women and ≤27.7 kg for men (AUC: 0.779; p < 0.001). Modified FFP had a good agreement with the FFP. Conclusion: FFP is a valid and reliable tool for Turkish population.
