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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the current preoperative frailty status of elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery and identify its associated factors. The objective of this study was to provide clinicians with valuable insights for implementing frailty intervention strategies.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 375 elderly patients who underwent abdominal surgery at a tertiary hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, between October 2021 and August 2022. The data were collected using various instruments, including a general information questionnaire, the FRAIL frailty assessment scale, the West China Mood Index, the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002, and the Barthel Index. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the factors influencing preoperative frailty in this patient population.
resultsAmong the 375 elderly patients who underwent abdominal surgery, 59 were identified as having preoperative frailty, resulting in a preoperative frailty rate of 15.7%. Multivariate analysis revealed that multiple chronic diseases, malnutrition risk, and limited ability to perform daily life activities were significant associated factors for preoperative frailty in these patients (P < 0.05).
conclusionClinical medical staff should prioritize the preoperative frailty assessment of elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery, particularly those with multiple chronic diseases, malnutrition risk, and limited daily life activities.
