Length of stay and prior heart failure admission in frailty and heart failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in ESC heart failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsThe aim of this study was to compare the differences in length of stay (LoS) and prior hospitalization due to heart failure (HHF) in patients with HF and frailty versus without frailty. METHODS AND
resultsFrom inception until August 2024, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched. To examine the association related to LoS and HHF in patients with HF, a meta-analysis using a random-effects model was conducted (CRD42024570604). Our main analysis demonstrated a significantly increased LoS in patients with frailty versus those without frailty [n = 10; mean difference (MD): 3.67; 95% CI: 2.26-5.08, I
conclusionsPatients with frailty have longer LoS and more frequent HHF, underscoring the need for early, targeted interventions to manage frailty that may be attributed primarily to ageing and comorbidity-related status.
