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] Owing to rapid population aging, prevention of frailty in older adults and minimizing the burden on the long-term care insurance system are priorities for the Japanese government. However, limited data are available regarding the prevalence and characteristics of frailty among older adults requiring support in Japan. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and characteristics of frailty in older adults requiring support in Japan. [Participants and Methods] The study included 695 new users of preventive long-term care services certified as "requiring support" between 2011 and 2019. In this cross-sectional investigation, we used data obtained from a community comprehensive support center. Frailty prevalence was assessed using the Kihon Checklist, followed by a χ
