Multi-dimensional frailty and Oral Health-Related Quality-of-Life in older adults: a cross-sectional study.
Observational study in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundFrailty is an age-associated decline of physiological functions, with psychological, social and environmental dimensions. Frailty is associated with oral health and well-being. We aimed to determine the association between Oral Health-Related Quality-of-Life (OHRQoL) and multi-dimensional frailty in older Colombians.
methodsAn observational study was conducted and included 1,079 older adults aged 60 to 105 years from Pasto, Colombia, recruited from different government programs targeting older adults. Socio-demographic characteristics were registered; OHRQoL was determined using the self-administered Colombian Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) version, and frailty using the Comprehensive Frailty Assessment Instrument (CFAI) and covariates identified with directed acyclic graph (DAG) analysis. A descriptive analysis and a generalized linear model (GLM) were performed.
resultsThe sample was comprised of 386 males (35.8%) and 693 (64.2%) females. The mean age was 71.85 years (standard deviation, SD=8.55). The mean GOHAI was 49.60 (SD=8.91). GLM found that overall frailty dimensions of the CFAI negatively impacted OHRQoL with psychological dimension having the largest impact (β= -0.44, 95% CI:-0.54- -0.34, P<0.001).
conclusionComprehensive frailty assessment allows us to map various dimensions of frailty and the impact they have on OHRQoL.
