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
Objective: Intrinsic capacity (IC), representing an individual's physical and mental abilities, is associated with adverse outcomes. Acute lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) contribute to poor long-term prognosis, yet effective assessment and intervention strategies remain limited. Given the critical role of IC in the aging population, understanding its prevalence and impact in older adults with LRTIs is crucial for improving management strategies. This study aims to characterize the domains and patterns of IC deficits and assess their influence on 6-month mortality and re-hospitalization in this population. Methods: This was a multi-center prospective cohort study conducted in China. Patients aged over 65 years hospitalized for acute LRTIs were consecutively enrolled and underwent IC evaluations upon admission between April 15, 2021, and January 15, 2023. Outcomes included 6-month mortality and re-hospitalization. Latent class analysis identified patterns of IC deficits, and multivariable logistic regression models assessed associations between IC deficit domains/patterns and adverse outcomes. Results: A total of 1,001 older patients were included, with a mean age of 76 years (IQR: 69-84). Most of (839, 83.8%) the patients had at least one IC domain deficit. The 6-month re-hospitalization and mortality rates were 20.7% (190/933) and 7.7% (70/914). More domains of IC deficits, particularly in cognition (OR 1.873) and vitality (OR 1.737) deficits were associated with increased 6-month re-hospitalization rates. Three distinct IC deficit patterns were identified: relatively robust (73.5%), limited vitality and locomotion (18.6%), and impaired cognition, vision, and hearing group (7.9%). Compared to the relatively robust group, the limited vitality and locomotion group had a significantly higher risk of re-hospitalization (OR 2.025, 95% CI 1.388-2.932). Conclusion: IC deficits were prevalent and associated with increased re-hospitalization in older adults with LRTIs. Early detection and targeted interventions may reduce re-hospitalization rates and improve patient outcomes.
