Preoperative diagnosis of frailty.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The aging world population obliges physicians to establish measures to optimize and estimate the outcomes of increasingly frail patients. Thus, in the last few years there has been an increase in the application of frailty indices. Multiple scales have emerged that can be applied in the perioperative setting. Each one has demonstrated some utility, either by way of establishing postoperative prognosis or as a method for the clinical optimization of patient care. Anaesthesiologists are offered a wide choice of scales, the characteristics and appropriate management of which they are often unaware. This narrative review aims to clarify the concept of frailty, describe its importance in the perioperative setting and evaluate the different scales that are most applicable to the perioperative setting. It will also establish paths for the future optimization of patient care.
