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

introductionFrailty Index (FI) is a common measure of frailty, which has been advocated as a routine clinical test by many guidelines. The genetic and phenotypic relationships of FI with cardiovascular indicators (CIs) and behavioral characteristics (BCs) are unclear, which has hampered ability to monitor FI using easily collected data.

objectivesThis study is designed to investigate the genetic and phenotypic associations of frailty with CIs and BCs, and further to construct a model to predict FI.

methodGenetic relationships of FI with 288 CIs and 90 BCs were assessed by the cross-trait LD score regression (LDSC) and Mendelian randomization (MR). The phenotypic data of these CIs and BCs were integrated with a machine-learning model to predict FI of individuals in UK-biobank. The relationships of the predicted FI with risks of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and neurodegenerative diseases were tested by the Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox proportional hazards model.

resultsMR revealed putative causal effects of seven CIs and eight BCs on FI. These CIs and BCs were integrated to establish a model for predicting FI. The predicted FI is significantly correlated with the observed FI (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.660, P-value = 4.96 × 10

conclusionThis study supports associations of FI with CIs and BCs from genetic and phenotypic perspectives. The model that is developed by integrating easily collected CIs and BCs data in predicting FI has the potential to monitor disease risk.
