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

Routine screening for any condition in a clinical setting should be pragmatic, meaning that the screening is feasible, relevant, and actionable to patients and providers. Glasgow and Riley (Am J Prev Med 2013) proposed a set of criteria to evaluate whether or not a screening tool can be considered pragmatic. Although recent guidelines recommend screening for frailty among older adults with HIV, routine frailty screening may be challenging given that the tools are often time-consuming and the diagnosis is not always directly actionable given that it can encompass multiple systemic deficits. Assessments of physical function, a component of frailty, may be more pragmatic for routine screening because they are generally less burdensome to administer, results are directly actionable, and objective results are responsive to change over time. The purpose of this Viewpoint article is to assess frailty and physical function assessments through the lens of Glasgow's pragmatic criteria.
