[Prevention of frailty].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe presence of frailty in older patients increases the risk for adverse health events and for a loss of independence. Measures for the prevention of this geriatric syndrome should be incorporated into routine healthcare.
objectiveWhat types of interventions could be effective in the prevention of frailty and how can preventive strategies be successfully implemented?
methodNarrative review article.
resultsThe concept of frailty is multidimensional and potential starting points for a prevention of frailty can be found within different dimensions (e.g., dimensions of physical activity and nutrition, psychosocial dimension). Epidemiological analyses have identified factors that increase or decrease the risk for becoming frail. Evidence from randomized controlled trials that examined the effectiveness of specific interventions in the prevention of frailty is still limited. Based on the available data, interventions using physical exercise appear to be effective in preventing frailty. In primary care in Germany the frailty status of older patients is not yet routinely recorded, which impedes the identification of patients at risk (patients with pre-frailty) and the implementation of targeted preventive strategies. The Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) concept of the World Health Organization offers a potential approach to prevent frailty and to promote healthy ageing within the population.
conclusionThe prevention of frailty is possible and reasonable. Comprehensive and targeted preventive strategies are yet to be implemented.
