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
backgroundThere are little data on the impact of frailty on critically ill older patients treated in intensive care units (ICUs) and on their characteristics and outcomes. More understanding of the longitudinal health and recovery process is needed and of the recovery traits of older patients after intensive care.
aimThis project aims to identify characteristics and outcomes in patients 65 years or older admitted to ICUs and to explore how health and recovery is experienced after discharge, with a special focus on frailty. STUDY
designThis research project will conduct both retrospective and prospective data collection with a sample of approximately 3200 patients. This is a longitudinal, multicentre, prospective, observational research project with a nested cohort covering 12 months of admissions and comprising four studies. The first aims to map the characteristics of patients admitted to the ICUs, their treatments and their outcomes. The second will use questionnaires to assess their health and recovery process up to 18 months after discharge. The third and fourth studies aim to describe and understand their lived experiences using research interviews, with the fourth study including only frail patients. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The project comprises studies that seek to identify the characteristics of older people admitted to ICUs, to examine how frailty impacts them and to understand what they experience during and foremost after intensive care. The project also aims to understand the facilitators and barriers to promoting health and recovery after discharge from ICUs and to contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting health and recovery initiatives. The results need to be spread and the knowledge sprung from this project may be implemented and used by intensive care unit clinicians.
