The Relationship Between Kinesiophobic Attitude and Frailty in Older People.
Article in International journal of nursing practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimTo investigate the relationship between kinesiophobic attitudes and their causes and frailty in older people.
methodsThis descriptive, relationship-seeking study was conducted with 302 people aged over 65 years. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews between July and September 2023, using a personal information form, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, the Kinesiophobia Causes Scale (KCS) and the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS). The data were analysed using Pearson's correlation test, linear regression and binary logistic regression.
resultsA total of 92.7% of older adults experienced high levels of kinesiophobia, while 80.5% presented various degrees of frailty. Most people's kinesiophobia is caused by psychological factors. There is a positive and significant correlation between kinesiophobia and frailty, as well as between the causes of kinesiophobia and frailty. The linear regression model showed that age, sex, physical activity, pain score, kinesiophobic attitudes and causes explained 52.1% of the variation in the EFS score. The binary logistic regression model, based on the frailty categorical variable (frail vs. non-frail), found that age, sex, physical activity, pain score and kinesiophobic attitudes accounted for 49.0% of the variation in the EFS score.
conclusionsKinesiophobic attitudes and causes are important risk factors for frailty and can predict an individual's frailty state.
