The association between neighborhood disadvantage and frailty: A retrospective case series.
Article in Journal of public health 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
Background: Frailty predicts poorer outcomes in surgical patients. Recent studies have found socioeconomic status to be an important characteristic for surgical outcomes. We evaluated the association of Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), two geospatial atlases that provide a multidimensional evaluation of neighborhood deprivation, with frailty in a surgery population. Design & methods: A retrospective study of patients undergoing routine frailty screening was conducted 12/2020-8/2022. Frailty was measured using Fried's Frailty Phenotype (FFP) and the five-item Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5). ADI and SVI quartiles were determined using patient residence. Logistic regression models were used to evaluated associations of FFP (frail only vs not frail) and mFI-5 (≥2 vs 0-1) with ADI and SVI (α = 0.05). Results: Of 372 screened patients, 41% (154) were women, median age was 68% (63-74), and 46% (170) identified as non-White. Across ADI and SVI quartiles, higher number of comorbidities, decreasing median income, and frailty were associated with increasing deprivation ( Conclusions: Surgical patients living in socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods are more likely to be frail. Interventions may include screening of disadvantaged populations and resource allocation to vulnerable neighborhoods.
