Review in Current heart failure reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 of reviewThis review aims to present the current state of the art in measuring frailty in patients with heart failure (HF), covering the entire spectrum from diagnosis to advanced stages of the disease. Frailty is a critical factor that significantly impacts outcomes in heart failure, and accurate assessment is essential for guiding treatment and improving prognosis. RECENT

findingsFrailty is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of morbidity and mortality in HF patients. Various tools are available for assessing frailty, but there is no consensus on the optimal method. The assessment of frailty needs to be multidimensional, incorporating physical, cognitive, and social domains. Early detection of frailty, coupled with personalized interventions, has the potential to improve patient outcomes. Integrating routine frailty assessments into the clinical care of heart failure patients is essential for optimizing treatment. Future research should focus on standardizing frailty assessment tools and integrating innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to enhance the precision and applicability of these assessments in clinical practice.
