Frailty, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy: Proposal of the new concept of the geriatric triangle.
Review in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
As people age, the prevalence of frailty, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy increases, presenting significant challenges in geriatric medicine. These three elements are interrelated in a bidirectional manner, forming what can be termed the "geriatric triangle." The complexity of their interconnections means that addressing each issue in isolation is insufficient for achieving an effective resolution. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of this geriatric triangle is essential for appropriate geriatric management. This review aims to illuminate the relationships within the geriatric triangle and to offer insights into potential strategies for managing these interconnected challenges.
