Association Between Preoperative Frailty Using Frailty Index-Laboratory Test and Clinical Outcomes in Older Adults Undergoing Brain Tumor Surgery.
Article in Nursing & health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate preoperative frailty in older adults undergoing brain tumor surgery using the laboratory-based frailty index (FI-LAB) and its association with clinical outcomes. Data were from electronic medical records of individuals aged ≥ 65 years who had brain tumor surgery between 2015 and 2022 at a general hospital in Seoul, South Korea. The FI-LAB included 26 preoperative laboratory tests and five vitality parameters. Of the 111 patients (mean age 75.4 years; 55% women; 63.1% had benign tumors), 35.1% exhibited moderate or high frailty. Moderate frailty was associated with higher hospital readmission rates (OR = 1.5; 95% CI, 1.01-1.82), and high frailty was linked to non-home discharge (OR = 2.1; 95% CI, 1.03-2.99). Assessing preoperative frailty with the FI-LAB may help identify risks of readmission or non-home discharge. Future studies with larger samples are needed to validate these findings. Nurses should integrate frailty assessment into practice to improve postoperative outcomes.
