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

Background: To analyze the current status of frailty and the primary factors influencing frailty in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods: We conducted a study using a fixed-point consecutive sampling method to investigate hospitalized patients with IBD aged 18 years or older in the Gastroenterology Department of a general hospital in Anhui, China, from July 2022 to July 2023. We also assessed the prevalence of frailty and malnutrition using the frailty phenotype scale (trial of fatigue, grip strength, physical activity, walking speed, and weight loss) and the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria to analyze the factors influencing frailty. Results: A total of 300 patients with IBD were included. Of them, 21.67% were classified as frail, 46.67% were prefrail, 31.6% were nonfrail, 35% showed nutritional risk, and 33% were malnourished. The results of bivariate correlation analysis showed that frailty scores were correlated with age, white blood cell count, faecal calprotectin, and C-reactive protein levels and were negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin, albumin (ALB), and pre-albumin (PALB) levels ( Conclusions: The patients with IBD were frail and prefrail, with a high prevalence of malnutrition. Lower BMI scores, a poor nutritional status, a worse disease state, and lower ALB levels were risk factors for frailty. A cyclical relationship was identified between frailty and malnutrition, with each condition exacerbating the other.
