1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between multidimensional frailty and quality of life among older adults with coronary heart disease who are hospitalized. Patients and methods: A convenience sampling approach was employed to select older adults with coronary heart disease admitted to the Cardiology Department of a tertiary hospital in Wuxi City between September 2023 and June 2024. The study utilized the General Information Questionnaire, the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI), and the SF-12 Scale to gather data. To examine the relationship between multidimensional frailty and quality of life, Spearman correlation analysis was conducted. Additionally, stratified regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with quality of life. Results: Among 254 older adults with coronary heart disease, 135 (53.15%) exhibited multidimensional frailty. The physical health score of frail older patients with coronary heart disease (36.62 ± 6.51) was found to be lower than that of their non-frail counterparts (42.88 ± 6.91). A negative correlation was observed between multidimensional frailty and quality of life, encompassing both physical and mental health aspects ( Conclusion: Older adults with coronary heart disease often experience widespread frailty, which is linked to their quality of life. The presence of multifaceted weakness serves as a crucial indicator of life quality in these individuals.
