Frailty is associated with poor outcomes in midlife trauma patients.
Article in American journal of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 impact of frailty on outcomes in midlife trauma patients (50-64 y) remains understudied. We evaluated the impact of frailty on midlife trauma patients' outcomes.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study using TQIP 2021 data. Demographics, injury and hospital information, comorbidities, complications, mortality, and discharge disposition were extracted. Frailty was scored using the modified frailty index-5. Multivariate analyses were performed. P < 0.001 was considered significant.
resultsIn 2021, 5.1 % midlife trauma patients were frail. On multivariate analysis adjusting for demographics, insurance status, injury severity score, vitals on arrival, and mode of transportation, frailty was associated with increased risk of death (OR = 2.27 [2.01-2.57]), longer hospital and ICU stay (MR = 1.46 [1.43-1.49] and MR = 1.30 [1.24-1.36]), and discharge requiring higher level of care (OR = 2.11 [2.01-2.22]).
conclusionOur data support the need for preventative efforts regarding frailty in midlife adults.
