Elderly People's Preferences for Different Organizational Models for Frailty Screening: A Discrete Choice Experiment.
Article in The patient, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesFrailty dimensions can be evaluated in a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). As frailty is often reversible, early detection can help to maintain a person's independence. The objective of the present study was to identify organizational factors that would encourage people aged 60 years or over to agree to frailty screening.
methodsA face-to-face discrete choice experiment was conducted to elicit older adults' preferences for five attributes of the CGA: the initiator, pre-assessment, location, schedules, and announcement of the results. To assess the relative importance of attributes and explore relationships between preferences and participant characteristics, the data were analyzed using conditional logit, mixed logit, and bivariate probit models.
resultsA total of 224 people (women: 61.2%; mean age: 72.2 years; urban dwellers: 61.6%; caregivers for other people: 35.6%) completed the survey. The CGA initiator, schedules, and location significantly influenced the respondents' preferences. The organizational preferences varied according to the respondent's quality of life and relationship with the family physician, as well as knowledge of the CGA; while agreement to attend a CGA depended on the person's gender, living environment, socioprofessional category, and caregiver status. Ideally, the CGA should be initiated by the family physician, carried out at the family physician's office or in hospital (but not at home), and split into two parts on the same day. The CGA results should preferably be presented by the healthcare professional who carried out the assessment.
conclusionsEarly frailty screening by a mobile geriatric team or specifically trained professionals in a neutral location close to the older person's home might be envisaged.
