Frailty and mobility in hospitalized older adults: an analytical cross sectional study.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 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
objectivesto analyze the association between frailty and mobility among hospitalized older adults in general medical wards.
methodsthis analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in a hospital in southern Brazil. Data collection involved a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, physical frailty phenotype markers, and the Perme Intensive Care Unit Mobility Score. The study included patients aged 60 years or older admitted to general medical wards. Exclusion criteria were critical illness, intensive care unit indication, pending transfer, or droplet precautions. Descriptive statistics, Tukey's test, and the test for equality of proportions were used.
resultsof the 547 participants, 46.07% were prefrail and 36.74% were frail. A significant difference in mobility scores was found between frail (15.2 ± 8.95) and non-frail (27.6 ± 5.05) older adults (p < 0.001), and between frail (15.2 ± 8.95) and prefrail (25.9 ± 6.45) individuals (p < 0.001).
conclusionsfrail older adults hospitalized in general medical wards exhibited significantly lower mobility levels compared to their non frail and prefrail counterparts.
