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

To investigate the predictive relationships between frailty, nutritional factors, and Quality of Life (QoL) on the vulnerability of older adults enrolled in Primary Health Care (PHC) in an urban area. This was a cross-sectional study conducted with community-dwelling older adults. Participants receiving care in PHC in two Brazilian municipalities located in a sparsely populated region were recruited. The instruments used were Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Edmonton Frailty Scale (EFS), and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36). Association analyses, Spearman's correlation, and binary logistic regression were used. A total of 323 individuals were included. Binary logistic regression revealed frailty (EFS) as the main predictor of vulnerability (R
