Association between frailty and pain in older people at high risk of future hospitalization.
Article in Frontiers in pain research (Lausanne, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03180606 (Enhanced Primary Care for Elderly), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated an independent association between pain and frailty, but knowledge about this association with different pain characteristics is limited. Objective: This study was embedded in a prospective, pragmatic, matched-control multicenter trial at 19 primary care practices in south-eastern Sweden (ClinicalTrials.gov 170608, ID: NCT03180606), aiming to investigate the association between frailty and pain characteristics among older people (75+) at high risk of hospitalization. Methods: High risk of hospitalization was identified using case-finding algorithm including 32 diagnostic codes of morbidities and healthcare use. Frailty was assessed by a nurse-physician team using Clinical Frailty Scale ( Results: One in three ( Conclusion: In older people at high risk of hospitalization, pain frequency seemed to be related to frailty, whilst ADL dependency demonstrated a stronger association.
