Frailty: An overlooked red flag in sports surgery.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Frailty can be defined as a decline in physiological and biological reserves that does not correlate directly with chronological age. While the general understanding of what geriatricians and orthopaedic surgeons should know about frailty has been increasingly discussed in recent years, the specific knowledge required by sports and shoulder surgeons remains underexplored. This paper aims to highlight what a sports and shoulder surgeon should know about frailty. With advances in healthcare technologies, both life expectancy and healthy life expectancy have significantly increased. A growing proportion of older adults are engaging in sports activities, and sports-related injuries in this population are becoming more common. In this context, frailty scales can be utilised to assess preoperative patient condition, anticipate intraoperative challenges, and predict postoperative complications, morbidity, and mortality risk. These tools can guide sports surgeons in understanding a patient's functional capacity and physiological resilience independently of chronological age.
