[Frailty at the interface of resilience and intrinsic capacity].
Review in Innere Medizin (Heidelberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundVarious concepts are used to assess the health status of geriatric patients, including frailty, resilience, and intrinsic capacity. Frailty, as the oldest and best-known concept among these, focuses on identifying functional deficits, whereas resilience and intrinsic capacity primarily assess preserved abilities. The application of all these concepts supports risk stratification and therapy planning in older patients.
objectivesThe aim of the present work is to systematically present intrinsic capacity and resilience as well as their relationship to and distinguishing characteristics from frailty. Additionally, intrinsic capacity and resilience are here considered within the framework of specific and overlapping features, as well as differences and practical relevance for geriatric care. MATERIAL AND
methodsA narrative analysis of the concepts was conducted based on current literature.
resultsContent overlap between frailty, intrinsic capacity and resilience, particularly in the domains of mobility and mental abilities, is present. Since most concepts emphasize only one thematic focus, multidimensional models, such as intrinsic capacity, can be advantageous. Different versions of measurement tools, especially for frailty, exist for different clinical settings. To date, no standardized measurement tools of frailty, intrinsic capacity, and resilience have been universally recommended.
conclusionAll concepts play an important role in the clinically meaningful stratification of older adults. In clinical practice, it is recommended to select one concept based on the parameters to be evaluated and to apply it consistently across all assessment time points.
