Development of a scoring system for vitality capacity assessment in older adults: a population-based study.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2026. 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
purposeTo develop a scoring system for vitality capacity, which is considered a physiological determinant underlying intrinsic capacity, for the older adults.
methodsNine parameters were used to construct the scoring system, with each parameter scored 1 to 4. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate its relationship with four types of chronic diseases and 2 types of impaired physical function.
resultsA total of 3701 older Chinese adults were included (mean age: 67.6 years, men: 51.3%). The median score of vitality capacity was 25.9 points. Higher vitality capacity was related to a better cardiometabolic profile (all P ≤ 0.01). Vitality capacity but not its individual component was consistently and significantly associated with decreased odds of all the 4 types of chronic diseases, and all the 2 types of impaired physical function.
conclusionThe 36-point scoring system for vitality capacity assessment showed superiority over its components to reflect the health wellbeing.
