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

purposeTo conduct a scoping review of the related research on cognitive frailty (CF) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, so as to provide a basis for early diagnosis, treatment and intervention of CF in MHD patients.

methodsUtilizing a scoping review approach, we searched PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, the China Biological Medicine Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Weipu (VIP) for literature on CF in MHD patients up to October 20, 2024. Two researchers conducted independent screening and data extraction of the literature's fundamental characteristics. The study is registered in OSF ( https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/H6Q89 ).

resultsThe review included 21 articles, revealing a concerningly high prevalence of CF in MHD patients, ranging from 4.6 to 56.4%. Six diagnostic combinations were identified, with the combination of Frailty Phenotype (FP), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), and Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scales being the most prevalent. Influencing factors were categorized into demographic and lifestyle, physical condition, disease-related and psychosocial aspects. Interventions included exercise, cognitive therapy combined with exercise, social support and predictive nursing, yet there remains a scarcity of intervention studies.

conclusionThe prevalence of CF in MHD patients is high; however, understanding of CF in MHD patients is insufficient. There are many types of assessment tools, but there is a lack of unified standards and specificity; the influencing factors are complex and diverse; and prevention and intervention studies are scarce.
