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
purposeThis study aimed to develop and validate a Chinese version of the Frailty Risk Perception Questionnaire (FRPQ) for older adults with colorectal cancer.
methodsThe study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, a preliminary questionnaire was developed based on theoretical framework analysis, literature review, and qualitative interviews conducted in Chinese with 25 older adults with colorectal cancer. In phase 2, the reliability and validity of the Chinese FRPQ were evaluated through a cross-sectional survey of 350 older adults with colorectal cancer aged 65-85 years across different treatment stages.
resultsExploratory factor analysis identified a four-factor structure explaining 63.25% of the total variance: perceived susceptibility (17 items), perceived severity (8 items), cognitive risk (5 items), and emotional risk (6 items). The Chinese FRPQ demonstrated good construct validity, with satisfactory convergent validity (correlation coefficients with Fried Frailty Scale: r = 0.683, p < 0.001; with TFI: r = 0.715, p < 0.001) and known-group validity (significant differences among robust, pre-frail, and frail groups, p < 0.001). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.942, with subscale coefficients ranging from 0.867 to 0.923. Test-retest reliability over two weeks showed an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.875.
conclusionThe 33-item FRPQ is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing frailty risk perception among older adults with colorectal cancer. This tool may help healthcare providers better understand patients' perceptions of frailty risk and develop targeted interventions.
