A Systematic Review of Frailty Interventions in Community-Based Low and Middle-Income Settings.

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: To synthesise evidence on the effectiveness of frailty interventions among prefrail and frail community-dwelling older adults living in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: The four electronic databases, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Global Health, and APA PsycINFO, were searched until 25 September 2023. This review's protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022309998). There was no publication time or language restriction. Inclusion criteria included randomised controlled trials and other intervention types of frailty interventions that focussed on community-dwelling older adults (mean age of at least 60 years) with prefrail or frail living in LMICs. The meta-analysis could not be conducted because of the heterogeneity of frailty interventions. Results: This systematic review included fifteen studies: eleven were single-domain interventions (exercise, nutritional supplementation, and nurse home visits), and four were multidomain interventions (exercise plus nutrition and exercise plus mindfulness). Some evidence from high-quality studies showed that physical exercise interventions successfully addressed frailty. Conclusion: This systematic review highlights the scarcity of evidence on frailty interventions in LMICs, making it difficult to evaluate their effectiveness. Additional research is needed to focus on specific types of interventions.
